Liz got mad at me last night because I haven’t posted to the blog in months. Truth be told I started a bunch of them but could never finish – each one just turned into a bunch of whining about how hard it is being married to somebody fighting cancer, and nobody wants to hear that. Maybe when this is all over I can write a post summarizing the experience in the small chance it helps somebody who goes through the same thing. Besides, Liz is such a good writer I just needed to let her cook! 😀

I also responded to Liz by confirming I’ll make up for my lack of blogs by keeping the updates running today.

It is now 5:42 am, we’ve arrived at the hospital, checked in and Liz has been taken back for prep. Once that’s done I will be able to go back and hang with her until surgery begins, then I’ll be back out in the waiting room during the surgery.

For anybody curious about Liz’s demeanor this morning, I would have to describe it as “determined”. She’s gone through the stages of anxiety and fear and anger over the last several months but this morning I saw what I can only imagine was Game Day Liz circa 2004-05…calm, in the zone and ready to fight.

Alright, I am rambling. I will try to keep subsequent posts straight forward and factual as much as possible. Thank you all for the love and support.
