The view from the room

Here I am again, sitting inside a hospital room at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. This time Leslie is in surgery, finally, to do a biopsy on the growth under her left arm. You remember this, it's the same side that she had the lump removed from that proved cancerous. Same surgeon, same hospital, same anesthesiologist even. Cool. Hopefully different results this time.

Leslie's boss, the one that wouldn't let her have the surgery a couple weeks ago because it wasn't "emergency surgery", has spoken a grand total of fewer than a dozen words to Leslie since then. That's probably a bonus. So glad she enjoyed her unscheduled day off that delayed this trivial surgery. Sure wish the rules of life allowed me to punch her in the nose too, but that's a different story.

So Leslie gets to be carved, just below the arm pit, using the same incision mark as before. Nice to know they're reusable. We will wait for word from Dr. Parnell, hopefully sometime tomorrow, regarding the "Well, is it cancer or isn't it?" issue. And yes, we'll pass that tidbit of information along as we hear.

Not a lot else happening in the world of the TETWP blogosphere so I'll just hush for now. More to come......
