This morning the thought of tomorrow’s surgery is in my mind.  I am feeling healthy and strong. Why do the medical people think that I will voluntarily come to the hospital for a procedure fraught with harm to my body. Maybe they should send out guards to escort me. So much of my cancer experience is abstract, visible on tests and screens, not in physical sensations. The difficulties come from the treatments. I have some core belief to trust the experts and show up on time and let them do another difficult treatment on my body. Sigh

Finally finish reading the 900 page book.  Yes, it was very good and already I am missing the world created in this book.  Now I have started reading A SEPARATION, a novel by Katie Kitamura.

The former teenager is home for a three week university break.  She is exhausted and slept most of the day on the couch. The tall man brought us a savory salmon dinner including key lime pie. We rewatched the first episode of The Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Worth watching again.

When the sun came out in the afternoon, flocks of birds also arrived to eat the berries, to peck at the mud and to play in the puddles.  They make me so happy.
