Wisconsin was great, love those hills. My friend Fina and I sat on the porch in the afternoon and painted and skipped through 3 decades of knowingness with each other - delicious. The garden was abundant and we feasted on the healthiest and freshest veggies - literally snipping things from the garden and tossing into salad or steaming for our lunch, yummm. I could not help being swept up and into the political landscape even though I had tried to leave republican insanity behind --- impossible. So I did a pretty good job of just walking away when it got to encompassing. This morning I travelled through Viroqua (where Sasha was born) and up the WI River Road - the sky was brilliant blue and clear. I travelled past so many places that I have noticed and appreciated over the years, the roads, the water, the green of summer all like unwavering friends accompanying me back home. And I was glad to be coming, and that is very good.
I got home early so went to the State Fairgrounds to pick up my Tea Cosey - I got great comments and encouragement for my piece, and I like it even more than when I dropped it off two + weeks ago. Then off to the pharmacy, and while there I got the call from the pre-op nurse at the hospital - we spent about an hour on the phone -- she really listened and encouraged me in what to discuss with the surgeon and the anesthiologist (oh I have not spelled that right!) It was an affirming first step with the hospital staff - made me feel even more certain of this decision.
Then I checked in my clinic, I was supposed to have my check-up tonite, but they said why don't you come in now -- so off I went to the clinic and I am in great shape -- all is ready to go. The forms have been sent to the hospital --- all of my concerns and issues noted and shared -- yeah rah!
So I am doing great --- and you are all a part of the band of supporters urging my healing and honoring my process - thanks! Have a good evening, and stay tuned.
