    Surgery WAS December 28

    Big snowstorm in Arkansas - no power for 24 hours. I cancelled my surgery because I can't get to the hospital (5:30 am) and I am concerned about reduced staff for my recovery. I will continue to monitor my foods and re-schedule when tax season is over. Happy New Year yall.
