Today my surgeon in Asheville gave me an A+ on my surgery and all lymph nodes testing negative for cancer. He said I am not only “cured” but can have my single malt scotch. He said it will do me good. I think he is as happy as I am. What a terrific surgeon! He also said as long as I am not on heavy pain killers (I haven’t been for over 10 days) then I can drive! So tomorrow morning I am going up to listen to the old boys mumble and have some coffee with them.
The two sister angels who take me to Asheville treat me to a celebratory lunch at a favorite place in West Asheville. A terrific brunch of carrot pancakes with a cardamom butter and sweet soaked bacon! I could only eat half and it was delicious! I bought two pimento scones to bring home. There is so much more imagination and flavors of the food conjured up and served in Asheville than here in town.
And I have been trying to get some more stitching done on my small slow stitch panel. It has kept me calm and focused this past few days.
So that is the news from here. Today after I returned home the nurse came by to take my “vitals” and am looking very good there, Also the physical therapist came by to work on my stamina and balance. Again, all good. Both return on Thursday.
Yesterday a neighbor did my grocery shopping for me. The renovation man came to give me a price on turning the porch into a sun room and fix all small issues I might think important in the house. It is going to be lovely to have the wind blocked from that room….as well as the sun that glares through. I will post pictures of his progress when he starts early next week.
I am debating having at least 500 new postcards printed to send to the incredibly frightened and stupid republican party who claim to have a care about what they have done to our country. Like most of you around the world, our skin crawls with knowing their intentions of doing away with our democracy.
I will post more images later….
Now need to finish my scotch and have some soup before heading to bed.
A long day!
til later….
