Wondering if...

Hermione gave voice to the shadowy knowledge that is hovering over our days and nights as we go along toward the date for Master and T to have their surgeries:

"I confess I had been wondering if play had been put on hold because of all the lifestyle changes going on."

It hasn't yet. We know that it will -- have to be. We know that is one of the realities with which we will have to cope as we approach and then recover from this very serious surgery. We've gone through periods before when there was no possibility of play, and it is never easy to contemplate or live with. We also know though, that healing occurs and things do come back around.

For us, it is almost harder at this stage than it might turn out to be in the event. Anticipation of such a radical shift in our normal patterns of intimacy is very difficult. We'll muddle through, wrapped up in and snuggled around each other until we find ourselves on THE DAY somewhere in the future when it will all begin to come back for us again.
