Off to the hospital!

[Tarakin]

Things are better. (...) Poor mum. But she is doing better.

This are good news!

Pathology report - no cancer in the lymph nodes.

And the drugs seem to be leaving mom's system.

She did not throw things at the nurse today.

This is proof of good news!!

She actually curled her hair today - with curling iron - before the doctor came in to see her.

She wants to get the hell out of the hospital.

Definitly proof of good news!!!

Now she's almost healthy, she just has to complain about the hospital food and about (insert some imagined flaw of yours she first critized at your age 3 and never ever stopped critizising. I'm sure there is something, there always is!)

So glad to hear she's doing better!

Yay for mom!!

Wheelchair races at 5 o'clock.

Always a good sign. My 1st mother-in-law had a very similar surgery and journey a few years ago. I was the only one not working at the time, so I spent every day with her. It's scary at first, but when she can forget about how she feels to care about how she looks, things are good.

Continued healing thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, you lovely people! This is such a relief!

They're letting her out tomorrow!!! There was a chance it might even be today, but the doc wants one more day of observation. She'll have to go back in for bloodwork often until they get the appropriate levels - the injection and oral Coumadin overlap. But everyone is really positive about that - we're not buying trouble.

Kisses and hugs all around.

What I wouldn't give for a Litogether this weekend! Woo hoo!!!

Great news!

No fair raising the notion of a litogether when I wouldn't be able to be there. I've heard a rumor that one's children expect them to attend their graduations and that they would frown on dad going off to a hotel to get his jollies from hanging out with pervy folk.

All the while being a large hurry themselves to abandon dad & co. once the ceremonies are complete so as to better get their own jollies hanging out with pervy folk of their own choosing!

Truer words were never spoketh.

When do you finish up with your own school year, friend? Oh, and I just started a class where, if I'm a good boy, I'll get to use the SawStop cabinet saw to make loads o' sawdust.

Of all the people I might want at my hospital bedside when i wake up from surgery, I think you're the one who could make me smile and believe it'll all be okay.

You're the best, my slatternly friend. If you need to talk, you've got my number. I've got yours, too. (Found it scrawled inside the third stall at Churchill's Pub on River Street. I thought you said you'd never been to Savannah?)

Love and cookies,

The kid's last day is June 17th, mine the day after. The 24th I start a Project Completion Lab at the Woodshop and the 25th a course in Furniture Appreciation that is essentially one field trip after another to Sam's place (where his three assistants are still hard at work filling years of back orders,) John Dykstra's (now the reigning Grand Old Man of Mid-Century Modernism) and those devoted craftspeople who maintain and restore the great Greene and Greene houses around the Southland. It will be grand. In the fall I take Veneering and the following spring Chair-building. That will complete my certificate in furniture design and construction. At that point I apply for the MFA program in woodworking at my local university art department. Yeah, I know it sounds odd, but both of the nearest campuses have them.

There's a really fine chair-making class here run by Jeff Miller. I've seen the classroom chair that he teaches up close and one could do a whole lot worse than to have a set of those around the table. This is on my list for a year or so from now. [/furniture hijack]
