This is such a tender post Satya. And one I needed to read today.

After my 11 days of hospital limbo, many tests and hoops to jump thru and finally an embolization (scary procedure) of my most current venous fistula, I returned home.

It’s so good to be home, and so challenging to not have improved at all yet.

The newest words from my MD are “wait two weeks, and if you’re not better, we’ll have you return for more (invasive) tests, and surgery”. The surgery carries the risk of chronic pain down my arm, but I might have the relief of being upright again.

I’m calling in Great Love to do what I cannot do, surrender and wait, while walking the path of perpetual unknown,

Thank you

This line hit me hard: "It turns out (shock horror) that I’m a teensy bit of a control freak." Isn't it funny how life has a way of revealing our hidden control tendencies, especially when we're chasing after something we desperately want? It's like the universe's gentle (or not-so-gentle) nudge to remind us that we're not the puppet masters we think we are.

I write this as a control freak. Haha.
