Grocery shopping.\u00a0 Lunch and feed the dogs, then off to Minneapolis to Abbott-Northwestern Hospital.\u00a0\u00a0When I got into the Piper Building, the information desk had no one there.\u00a0 Up to the second floor.\u00a0 They directed me to the east elevators and floor 3.\u00a0 Lonnie was in 3556.<\/p>\n
A closed door.\u00a0 I asked the nurse to go check. Stefan was in there.\u00a0 Lonnie had had a rough night and was still anxious from the meds she had on board.\u00a0 But.\u00a0 If the path from frozen sections on Wednesday confirm the initial findings during surgery, she will not need chemo or radiation.\u00a0 That means a clean excision.\u00a0 No penetration of the uterine wall.\u00a0 Therefore no cancer floating in the body at large.<\/p>\n
Stefan and I talked for awhile.\u00a0 About waiting.\u00a0 Waiting for an appointment with an oncologist.\u00a0 Waiting for surgery and the prep for surgery.\u00a0 Waiting for the results of the surgery.\u00a0 Now, a much easier form of waiting.\u00a0 Waiting until Lonnie improves enough to go home.<\/p>\n
A happy story about the big C.\u00a0 Not the one’s I recall from the paper.\u00a0 Diagnosed last week, dead this week.\u00a0 One to remember.<\/p>\n
Taylor came by while Stefan and I talked.\u00a0 He had made jello for Lonnie, but it took longer than he thought to jell.\u00a0 He was on his way to a recording studio.\u00a0 He’s laid down 50 hip-hop songs, “kept 30 of them.”\u00a0 He has serious folks interested in his work.\u00a0His ambition is impressive and his willingness to lay it out there suggests to me that he will succeed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had on a big billed hat with gold and logos, a hooded sweat shirt done in an almost 50’s preppy sock diagonal plaid.\u00a0 His pants, the low hanging denim variety have purple stitching on the rolled up cuffs and gold threaded designs on extra large back pockets.\u00a0\u00a0 Trippy.<\/p>\n
Back home for\u00a0 a snack and now a workout before Kate comes home from work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
