July 19th Sandra Bloom arrives

Thank Goodness! My Mom is here! She came all the way from Maryland.

She was able to take time off work and is staying with me until I am finished with surgery.

She rented a car she calls "the golden chariot" and drives me to all my doctor's appointments. She takes notes and asks good questions. She helps me think about my treatment options and helps me make decisions. Most importantly, she stays steady when I am out of control on the emotional roller-coaster of dealing with all this.

It's wonderful to get to spend so much time with her. I can't imagine how much more difficult this process would be if she was not here.
