Diantha had shoulder surgery yesterday, and she sang the wonderful song below to her medical team!
"I wrote this song a few years ago during back treatment episodes at UNC. When I sang it yesterday to three medical people in my recovery room, one of them--a young man and I don’t remember what his role was--leaned down and grabbed both of my hands together within his and pumped them up and down grinning under his mask. I felt his respect coming through. It was very sweet.
Then they left."

Retrolisthesis, scoliosis
A little arthritis and stenosis
I got a whole lot goin' on
But all it can do is slow me down
Slow is good, I'm just fine
I do what I can and leave the rest behind
What more can anyone do?
I've got limits, how about you?
Then they left."
