The oncologist cleared her for her Florida trip...she starts chemo again next Tuesday....the last of her staples come out in one week and she sees the surgeon for his final blessing in two weeks. She will be working closely with the ostomy folks for the next couple of weeks.
A salute to Sisters Drug...amazing people...and so very concerned about Linda.....oftentimes they get the medication orders from the Doctors and have to wait to see what is up with Linda.....it was very heartfelt today.
A salute to the nurses and CNA's for their dedication and kindness and humor....it was fun under stressful circumstances...not that we want to repeat it...they were great .
And to Linda's doctors...Dr. Kornfeld...Oncologist .....who knows what to say at the right time.....and understands stage 4 cancer patients are humans too. And to Dr. Frei....the Surgeon.....who finally smiled and was so skilled in what he did.....and Dr. No....who made the "behind the scene decisions" on behalf of Linda..."Yes to Dr. No!!!"..

Found this beautiful winter poem and thought it might be a comfort to you. It was sent to me and it's very well written and I hope that you enjoy it too .

Glad to hear you are home and comfortable. Jim said to tell Dave, "thanks for calling back". He was worried about you.
All our love!
Poem...too funny. Linda, rest up. Your virtual packing crew is ready to help, in spirit, anyhow.
John certainly knows what you are going through and sends words of encouragement.

Even though we have earthquakes, fires, mudslides, and crazy people (I may have forgotten a few salient aspects), it seems to me that Southern California is the place to be. At least in winter. We were outside the last few days in long sleeved shirts (not sweats, sweaters, and certainly not coats). We were *sweating* when we had to do any work--like putting out the Christmas tree for the trash.
TravelMom says it's still cold in Tampa but they are looking forward to warmer weather this weekend. It should have settled into decent weather by the time you get there.

Linda, you were so lucky to have Dr. Frei--he was my surgeon last Oct. when I had the bleeding ulcer repaired. Everyone says he is the best and I believe it!
So glad you are home now. The clown keeps us all in stitches, especially in the the cartoon! Thanks for the humor, Dave!
