Just tying up a few loose ends after spending last week with multiple medical experts, reading lots of journal articles, and talking to some very upbeat breast cancer survivors. I now know more than I ever wanted to about the topic. Before we left for MD Anderson I told Bjorn that I wanted to come away from that facility feeling like THIS is The Place I Want To Be Treated, above all others. It was obviously a terrific facility, but I didn't get that feeling. So I'm hoping to finalize some things this week and plan for surgery here in podunk Brevard county early in June.

Saturday Bjorn took me out on Kathy and Randy's tandem kayak. I thought I was all tough and brought my own paddle as well. Shocked to find that after 20 strokes my arm felt like lead. Okay, just going to have to build up to my usual two mile meandering. Even so, just being on the water has such a magical effect.
