Just so people aren't left hanging, I will say that my surgery went well, and my recuperation continues at home. I'm better, but I'm by no means well right now. I was told not to strain through lifting or pushing anything of five pounds or more, for instance, at least until the end of this week. (Though I did have some mirth at the idea this referred to UK pounds sterling as opposed to American pounds of weight.)
I can say that all my Wild Bergamot bloomed in my absence, and the bees and butterflies seem to be enjoying it. I saw what I think is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail today, and a Monarch butterfly was on the Swamp Milkweed earlier this week. That I noticed. I haven't been standing much!
So I plan to be back as soon as I can, with more updates on how things are going. Thanks for your messages of support and encouragement!
