Eve's
fiancee is recovering quite well from the cancer and surgery. I'm going up to Orcas (with the new babe!) for their wedding this weekend.
Got a phone call last Tuesday at dinner from my mother's roommate. Mom had gone into the doc with a pain in her abdomen. Turns out it was appendicitis. She was in surgery when we spoke. I got home a while later, and shortly after that her surgeon called to tell me everything had gone quite well. The next day, I got email from my mother who'd been curious about the surgery, and had looked it up. She found and sent us
this cute little animation showing how they do it through three tiny incisions. She's doing fine.
And then tonight, at 10:20pm, I got a call from my cousin who lives in Oakland.
She said "Your
brother's in the hospital."
"Oh no. Why?"
"Guess."
(praying) "Not another vehicle accident..."
"Nope."
"Appendicitis!"
Yes folks, after everything he's been through, tonight my brother will be getting his appendix out.
More news as events warrant.
