Day 251

It's getting to be a common occurrence.  I woke up with the alarm, turned over, and went to sleep for another hour.  I had to get up after that, because we needed to go to the doctor.

The appointment was at 10:15.  We got there just in time in spite of the perpetual traffic jam on the Mopac.  We didn't need to hurry.  We sat in the waiting room for 2 hours.

The doctor said that he would schedule the reconnect surgery for the early part of July.  It's a little unclear whether or not the chemo would be effective if it's started that late.  We'll have to talk to the oncologist.  He also said that the initial MRI had rated her cancer stage 3.  That's the first we'd heard of that.  We'd always thought it was stage 2.  Of course the lab work after the surgery showed nothing in the lymph nodes.  He seemed to indicate that that might not be conclusive.

While we were at the office Ellen's bag started to leak.  That really sucks.  It only lasted 14 hours or so.  When we got home we changed it of course.  Hopefully this is a better job.

The temperature today was near 100 with humidity above 80%.  In other words it sucked.  We spent the rest of the day indoors hiding out from the heat.  Apparently it's going to be this way for another week.
