Thank you JAM Dell and EZJim,
I had an exhibit while they were gone and have been busy but am very depressed (like sometimes can barely string a sentence together). My reaction to this whole thing has been delayed, partly because I was so active and needed during treatment. My only close friend in town has had bad news about her lung cancer and I am bracing myself for this year with her. (I take great delight that she and I can still share food and drink, something I really miss with Dad who has treated me to the greatest meals of my life.)
They loaded up a million cans of food and drove from IL to AZ! They are world travelers and just saw this situation as a small hitch...Pretty cool really.
They'll be back soon for the big scan on Feb 5th or 6th.
