Joanne's visit with Dr. Grice went very well today. He explained the "why" behind many of the symptoms she has been having and was very reassuring. We have a plan! Joanne and I will go back down to Virginia Mason on Tuesday for surgery that late afternoon - Dr. Grice is adding her on at the end of the day. He will attempt to fix the port and insert a new one. We will stay overnight in the hospital at least one day or longer if more extensive surgery is needed.
He encouraged her to take the narcotics for the pain - so she is currently pain free, sleepy and very relaxed! A huge thank you to Cindy Davis for driving Joanne while I worked. We are so glad that Jeffrey is back - he knows what to do and he cares.

Wonderful news . . .
I wish there was a way to do this w/o surgery, but I know this is much more simple than what you've already been through.
Dr. Grice is D'Man,

I just cleaned the leaves out of Mom's stream and pond – the water is now running strong. Sending you thoughts of unclogging and great flow as you have your surgery.
