osodecanelaI have been on pins and needles for days.
Mom is in the ICU after surgery this afternoon. I won't go into details here just yet, but the prognosis post-operatively is better than I had allowed myself to hope for. My sister is on faculty at the university where her surgery was, and the surgeon was the same on who did her initial surgery when she was diagnosed 14 years ago. My sister just called an hour ago, with the news and I'm finally feeling like I can breath again. It will be another 10 days before we get the final word from pathology, but things look much better than they have for the past month.
I've been on the phone with a dozen different relatives from all over the country in the past hour, from my mother-in-law in Florida, to my nephew and his wife in Cleveland, to my cousin in the Bay Area, to my aunt on Long Island.
Tonight I think I'll actually be able to sleep. Which is more than I can say for last night. Or the night before. Or the night before that......
