Thoracic Surgeon Appointment

Wednesday, 3 PM Eastern. No procedures planned; just talking. The office understands the urgency of coordinating with the 9/8 mastectomy/reconstruction surgery.

Thoracic surgeon is Dr. Bruce Panasuk (pronounced Pan-A-SUCK). We still need a nickname. Maybe Dr. Chest Sucker? What else? Cindy? Charlie?

Nurse neighbor Mary brought V a hummingbird feeder yesterday. Mary hung it on a shepherd's hook outside V's kitchen/FL room windows. She said it may take up to a week to attract the birds. V was on Mary's back deck this AM and her feeder there had ~ 4 hummingbirds at one time. They were making bird noises and resting on the feeder holder from time to time. V didn't know they did that.

Nice weather today. Low humidity. Crisp, clear. Almost springlike.

Jim went home after a weekend here of eating and holding. He says he will call the DR today about his dizziness/inappetance. He is using the cane V borrowed from one of his neighbors. It makes him much more sure footed.

We are getting over the devastation.
