Well, another surprise. After the heart cath, then the blot clot 2 weeks ago, who would have thot there would be yet another-before John's operation?
BUT the best laid plans...
Tuesday night John had a nasty fall and fractured two ribs. The surgeon at MDAnderson felt that this could affect his breathing and make him susceptible to pneumonia. So surgery is delayed until the end of May.
We are now busy undoing all the cancellations we made for the next 6 weeks(implants-dental(!), hair, parties, begging bridge partner to take me back, cancelling the driver, rescheduling the plant watering person, hoping my place in painting class hasn't been sold to that new girl and trying to recoup plane tickets for Charlotte, Jackie and John; hopefully a medical letter will suffice..
In this disappointment if there is a silver lining, tho' slightly tarnished, it is that we have more time to unpack from the last trip a week ago and catch our collective breath. We miss Charlotte's "kiddlewinks", a three and five year old who were with us for Easter and just left this AM.
Back to waiting mode...
Jackie and John
