Looks like we might have a white Christmas
My wife's health improving daily
Safe passage to San Francisco and back
Having such cute children
We made the trip to UCSF cancer clinic and back yesterday, but not without having to trek through some difficult driving conditions. Lulu and I got a late start to our trip down for the follow-up appointment for Lulu, and it was 6:45 AM before we got onto the road. The highway down was covered with snow and the CHP had chain controls at Truckee, but because the traffic was backed up for a long way, I decided to take Donner Pass Road. As it turned out Lulu and I didn't make up the time that I figured that we would, and actually ended up on the highway (I-80) at Norden right next to the truck we had been following in Truckee. But the trip over Donner pass was fun and beautiful with all the snow. We made the 11:30 AM schedule appointment at 11:29, and I felt proud that we did that well.
This medical appointment took 2 hours. The doctors were all at a conference in San Antonio so the clinic was close to deserted. Lulu got her three drains removed by one of the surgical nurses, and she was so happy to have them out. During the appointment Lulu ask a number of questions about when she would get the consultation for the radiation treatment, and who she will be meeting the next trip down? I could see the confusion for Lulu on what were the next steps to her treatment battling this terrible disease. There were many unanswered questions that my wife had. Lulu was so happy to be totally done with the surgical part of this journey. How could you blame her?
