June 4

We just returned home after Judy's appointment with Dr. Ahmed, Judy's oncologist. He decided Judy should not have chemo tomorrow because there are only 4 weeks before Judy's next surgery. We are relieved because Judy needs to build her stamina before another major operation. The flight is booked for Vancouver and hopefully, there is room at the inn. There was another mix up in sending CT results to Vancouver, but I believe the wrinkle has been ironed out. We also found that Judy and I don't have to fly to Vancouver until July 5, the day before the operation. Judy will be having CT scan later in June, then the results will be forwarded to the surgeon in Vancouver. Judy has been doing well, although she is experiencing discomfort in her rib area. The most likely explanation is: the surgeon fractured a rib when he was going in between her ribs during the April 27 operation. We are off to the lake this weekend. Judy is still carrying her stick around pointing out jobs at the lake. Whenever work slows down, she applies the stick to my back. Thankfully, she is not the muscular type. The pain is minimal.
