Getting Closer

The surgeon's assistant phoned yesterday while I was having coffee with my dear friend, Sue. Apparently, the 12/23 date means nothing. No procedure is scheduled for me. Thank goodness! I don't have to worry about missing our Palm Springs trip! She said that she printed out my pathology report for the doctor, would show it to him at the end of the day and that he or she would phone me. Nothing yet. I do expect to hear from one of them today.

Sue. We met when our children were in kindergarten together. She is a teacher who retired in June and is loving every minute doing all the projects in her house that she has been putting off for years! We enjoyed a 3.5 hour coffee break together with plans to do it again in January. We are always amazed how we just pick up where we left off. We run ideas past each other. We tell funny stories about our teaching experiences. We share updates about our children. A dear friend.

Back to rehab this morning!

Christmas is arriving to our house on the weekend, inside and out. We are doing a less decorative indoor this year, just one Christmas tree, but it will still be very festive. Few presents under the tree, as well. We all decided not to share this year, except for mom. We will still buy ourselves gifts from mom and gave our special presents for her. We think we have decided where we are spending Christmas early dinner, a Prime Rib place here on the peninsula close to mom's home. The plans are coming together!
