My household could use some good vibe/thoughts, if you can spare them [View all]

My guy is scheduled for full hip replacement surgery in a couple of weeks. We met w/ the surgeon today to talk about the procedure/risks/recovery schedule, etc. While we were there he got a call telling him he had to cancel a surgery because of lack of beds in the hospital. A recent up-tick of COVID cases is causing a shortage of beds.

My guy has been waiting for this for quite some time now. He's always in a lot of pain and he needs relief.

Here's hoping and praying we don't get bumped.
