The Funeral will be on July 19th

We all have those moments where it just comes out wrong.  Gayle was trying to tell someone when my surgery has been scheduled.  I have to admit my sense of humor has become a bit more morbid.
I laughed pretty hard at the story and laughed harder when I threatened to quote her in this blog.

I have come to the conclusion that all is not grim.  I have appreciated the words of support and prayers.  Our friend Wendy today shared her system of keeping track of all the medical history, reports, doctors, etc. in a notebook.  She had prepared a notebook for me similar to the one she created for her dad.  While I had been collecting all my information in a semi organized manner, her system is far superior.  It not only organizes the information, but keeps a running chronological history and makes the transfer of information between doctors easier.

I have talked to a few people who have shared  their cancer treatment.  The type  of cancer may be different, their sharing of the process has been encouraging and hopeful.  It is a little tougher getting to the emotional experience.  They have a look in their eyes that they all have in common that I have yet to comprehend.  But I expect I will soon try to be able to express those feelings through the blog.

In the meantime, I'm still waiting for the funeral, I mean surgery.
