Saturday we moved my bedroom from the downstairs room to upstairs, and changed the computers around, too, so that I now have the den upstairs for mine, and Gary's computer is downstairs. Gary has been a sweetheart and is helpful in every way...Thanks, Gary!
Thank Goodness for Ben, who came in the morning and made the transition so easy! He unhooked all the wires and cables and had everything up and running in such a short time. I am sure Gary and I would still be scratching our heads, trying to figure out what goes where, and wondering why we can't get on the internet. What a relief.....THANKS BEN!!!!
Happy Fathers' Day to all you Dads out there!
I got a call from my surgeon about her discussion with my oncologist. The surgery WILL come first, after all. She is working on getting me scheduled for Monday, June 27th. It will be at St. John's Hospital in Maplewood now, instead of St. Paul. I don't know any details yet, but will let you all know when I hear.
I am so relieved to have such an attentive physician. It is so amazing to me to deal with a doctor directly, and not through a clinic! She is my kind of Doc.
So now, after all the switching around, I am back to the original plan, just a week later. I'm at the point where I just want this to be over and done, so I can quit thinking about it. It is so much easier to deal with reality, as opposed to my imagination and over-thinking everything.
My oncologist is at Mercy Hospital Clinic, and I chose her on the recommendation of a friend- Diane, and because it is only 15 minutes from home, instead of a half hour. I will be taking a tour of the facility on Monday with Diane. I probably won't have an appointment with the oncologist until a few weeks after my surgery.
I feel like I am making some progress in cleaning out my clutter here at home. This is a good feeling, and I am ready to unload things I won't be using. It has been a blessing to be home these past few weeks to focus on myself and to have time to do what I need to do to feel ready to face what's ahead.
It was also a special treat to see the videos of Tacy's new place... just a beautiful location. Can't wait to visit out there! Fiona is growing so fast, and every day she knows more words! Chuck posted a picture of him and Fiona on a carosel. Tacy said after one ride around, she gave the hand-sign for "more" so Daddy took her for another ride. So Sweet!
Of course, I also enjoy my "other grandchild", Brutus the Bulldog. Beth posts the cutest videos and pictures of him on her Facebook. Makes me smile.
Doug (Gary's brother) and Liza met us at Outback and we had dinner together. Then we continued the visit at home. That was a special treat today, after a long day of moving stuff around.
I feel SO supported and loved by all my friends, and I so appreciate all the well-wishes and prayers. I am truly blessed to know so many wonderful people, who have been there for me at just the right moments.
Love You All,
Mary :)
