Ahhh. looking forward to today.. Sherri, Alex and I spent yesterday scrubbing the deck, mowing the grass and collecting things (chocolate cake, beer, etc.;-) that we will need for the party today. It will be fun to have everyone here, cook some food on the grill outside and relax and have fun on this beautiful day. Costco was selling these wonderful vegetarian hot dogs made by Tofurky and we have collected a supply for today, My Mother is bringing her excellent potato salad, and along with other assorted picnik food and drink that shows up, we will all have a summer BBQ dinner.
The disraction will be welcome for us. As Sherri mentioned, it has been hard this time. As much as we try to stay positive, there are moments when that is really difficult. I have had constant pain the last week requiring Ibuprofen which helps. I am woken frequently by the light sound of gurgling of the subcutaneous fluid over the surgical site. Not sure if it's gurgling in or out.. but the swelling IS getting smaller day by day.
We are scheduled for two appointments this week in Seattle with the Oncologist Tuesday and surgeon on Thursday. So we will of course keep you updated.
The kind and loving words and thoughts are so appreciated. Sher and I are learning so much about the power of Love through this experience. You are all our most beloved teachers.
With Love
Richard
