Quiet Day

Jan spoke to her surgeon this morning and she liked him very much. It still looks like the surgery is a go for this week, although they may obliterate her kidney prior to the surgery with radiation. I believe the reason for this is that it decreases the chance of bleeding during the operation. I will be here today at least until her team of doctors comes in so I can get all my questions answered.

Last night after everyone else left we snuggled in bed for a couple of hours and watched Godspell. Jan dosed on and off but woke up for the songs, and we sang them together. A blast from the past, all the hippy Jesus stuff we were involved in together.

Sitting in bed together, talking, watching movies together, it's all so familiar, so normal. It's hard to believe that something serious is lurking under the surface. Mostly I am feeling very positive, but every once in a while something catches in my throat or in hers as the unbelievability of the situation hits us.

Janice is remaining strong of spirit. Everyone's prayers and energy and good thoughts are helping and healing. Jan would like everyone to light a candle on the day of her surgery, so we can all be together in sending light and love.

Today has been calm, Jan is resting and napping and Dylan, Bobby (her brother) and I are just being with her. It's good to just be.
