Hey, Lisa, hope everything continues well. Sophia...man. I'm glad your relatives think you bounce back quickly, but that's a lot. maybe not THAT quickly. damn. I started doing some stuff for the workshop I start Sunday, on writing and visual art.
Right. Sir. Honey.

The works of David Simon?
My dad had crowns put in to pretty much his entire upper jaw today, so he's on soft foods for at least a little while. I'm going to make him scrambled eggs for dinner, trying to think of other suitable fare...

That did happen enough that my mother showed me my own letter to the editor with a Simon quote at the bottom, convinced I could make a friend in town.(Given my self-esteem, I 'm not even my own friend, really.But until then, she told me she'd know my work anywhere, when really? Not so much.) There is a woman in the City That Bleeds that had a box of laminated columns though--I couldn't decide whether that was embarrassing or impressive.probably both. I ate a lot of pudding and jello...maybe after a couple days mac and cheese--that was a miserable summer...try not to go without dental coverage

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Update: Because of my deep vein thrombosis, they will be removing only the ovarian masses. They don’t want me under long enough to also take the uterus. Unless the uterus is stuck to something.
They will biopsy the uterus to see if it is a different cancer or mass there. If so they will possibly go back in/give me chemo.
The DVT should get better with the mass removal.
Maria knows you are here and will check in if something happens and I am incapacitated.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Best wishes for positive outcomes, Sophia.

Wishing you no clots but good answers! Thanks to Maria for looking out for our need to know how you are!

I suppose that should be appropriate clots. No clotting at all is probably not a good idea with surgery. Wish amended.

The status is NOT quo.
Sending so much love and healing vibes, Sophia!

All good thoughts to you today, Sophia.
