Surgery Date!

Surgery date of Thursday, June 3rd at Virginia Mason. Four hours later my "girls" will be gone. I've joked that they're only good for two things: babies and men, and I have neither in my life, so take them- just hand me back my life. I have the most wonderful surgeon and am confident that she'll help us all get through this.


My sister Mindi is flying in from sunny Florida to help out. Love you Min! She's an experienced RN so that makes me feel better. She's so good that the family of one of her Italian patients took her to Italy with them to train the nurses there. Darned impressive. Sorry Min, all I have to offer is metallic grey sky Seattle but we could eat spaghetti, listen to Pavarotti and celebrate neighboring country Spain's famous football player Ignacio "Nacho" Novo!
