I find that if it takes me a while to get back to writing here, either I have been too busy (good times rolling) or I am dealing with something. This time, it's the latter. My Stepdad had to have more brain surgery this week, and I have been very distracted with hopes and worries for him and my Mom. We learned at Christmas that his tumor had recurred-it just kept marching through his head despite 6 weeks of chemo & radiation after surgery. He went in for more surgery Wednesday, getting 5 1/2 hours of Dr. Frankel's time and expertise in the Operating Room. Unfortunately, he developed a bleed Thursday afternoon and needed more surgery to stop the bleeding. Now they have him in the ICU, in a coma, to keep him calm and sedated. Of course, I have been worried for him and for my Mom who has had to wait patiently through each of these surgeries. Obviously, none of us can predict or control the future. But I am hoping and praying for the best outcome with no suffering.
Here's a photo of the old bald guy at Christmas, doing his Soduko.
