Surgery was at 7:30 am. Mom and I left Avon at 5:30. JJ was my nurse this morning in pre-op. She was great, a traveling nurse from Vermont. We chatted it up and my mom nabbed a few photos. She put in my IV and then came Dr. Ellstrom. Marisa said I needed to make [...]

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. At least six weeks by my count, but it has felt like near eternity. I’m sitting here in the lobby this lodge waiting for the time to come. I woke up at 5:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep. Two days ago that would have [...]
