Waiting for the Call

Not much is new -- at this point I'm still just waiting to come in for my radiation simulation verification. I imagine by the end of the week I should get a call.

I had my post op appointment on Wednesday. He said everything was looking fine. We'll wait two weeks after radiation is finished then start refilling the left side again. Other than, shouldn't be much more for my plastic surgeon to do from here on out. I have a follow-up appointment with my oncology surgeon next week -- I don't expect much to happen there either. 

James went to my mom's for the weekend and I would like you to guess how many things on my To Do list I accomplished in her absence: precisely zero. And it was glorious. After I dropped her off with my mom Friday at my sister's, I started with a nap, then met a friend at the DIA (the art museum) and dinner at nearby Chartreuse. Saturday was a lazy day with Daniel that involved sleeping in, a movie, a then walk through downtown Royal Oak with a stop for my new favorite hot cider, then back home to watch Fences. (Daniel is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and gets screeners so he can vote before the awards next Sunday. It's a really delightful perk.) Sunday, more sleeping in followed by an amazing brunch at Greenspace Cafe in Ferndale with friends, another rainy walk and dinner in Royal Oak with Daniel and the kids and back home for a movie once we got a very tired James (too much partying at Gigi's) in bed early. We're trying to show Claire some classic 90s hits now that she's old enough. Between our house and her mom's house she's seen everything released in the last couple of years that she might like, so she doesn't have much of a  choice than to amuse us with our nostalgia though they aren't her favorite. 

No school for Claire today for "records day" so I'm getting a few things done around the house and we're going to see yet another movie -- what else to do in this weather? I was hoping to take her to an exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum we've had our eye on too, but they're closed today for a special event. Maybe next weekend. 

It's really nice to have nothing much to report. I suspect I'll be starting radiation by this time next week! One more step toward the end.
