Since there is no cell phone coverage down here in the bowels of Virginia Mason, I will give an update now and later when there is news. We were told to be here at 2:00. We were. They took Joanne up to pre-op at 4:00 and now it is 5:40 and she still hasn't gone to the OR.
So, one of the gifts of this healing journey is that I am becoming a better "waiter". It's never been one of my strengths. Actually, I avoided waiting at all costs, except for a short stint as a waitress. A line? I move on.
I am proud to announce that I think I'm starting to surrender. After all, what's the alternative?
Resistance - and we all know that not only is it unattractive, but quite ineffective. It doesn't speed up anything except the adrenals and the heart rate.
Fortunately, I am equipped with books, I-Pod (and all those NPR podcasts) and my trusty lap top. Life is good - and I just wait. . .

Hi Janet,
hang in there...acceptance of things that you cannot control is a good thing, too.
Take comfort in the fact that you have done the very best you can do in terms of care and support, and know that Joanne is in the best shape to take this mess on because of you.
All of our love and strength is with you and Joanne. Hang tough!
Jerry, Sharon, Taylor and Chloe the SuperDog
