Its been awhile since I posted. Since its my wife’s 60th birthday (I married a slightly older woman…smartest decision I ever made), I figure now is a good time.
As I posted back in March, Mary was supposed to have surgery on April 22. We came to the Mayo Clinic for scans etc. in March–and were sent home due to COVID. She did two rounds of chemo in the interim, and we came back three weeks ago. She has been receiving preoperative radiation, and on June 22 will have a pelvic exenteration. She is in great spirits, and we are optimistic!
Rochester is a wonderful little city, and we are enjoying lots of time together. We brought our dogs too!
BTW-- I have seen two Razorback stickers on cars around here. Not including mine. We are everywhere
Thanks to everyone for your messages and prayers. And in one case, a wonderful autobiography!
gonna be up to you for successful surgery and especially surgery, Both or you have to be mentally tought. REALLY big surgery that suggests it was not optional in March. Mayo is wonderful. I have unfortunately done that case so many times at Vandy because Dr Jones literally wrote the book on GYN Onc. Tune up as best as ya’ll can and find the best place for her favorite food because that will not happen again for many weeks or months. Prayers to both of you.
The surgery was actually scheduled for April 22. But all “optional” surgeries were postponed due to COVID as Mayo anticipated being overrun. We were told that Mary and other patients of major surgery literally wouldn’t be safe with COVID in the hospital. But…things are all set now. Thanks!
for you and your family and God bless you!
