i have to get this off my chest -
(sorry for the off-color humor, it’s been a long day!)
jane is great, and has come through today’s surgery with flying colors! she’s resting comfortably in a private room, pressing the morphine button (wish i had one!) but not complaining too much - mostly she, her team, and i are most thankful that she has come out of the operation doing so beautifully. more critically, everyone is most happy with the containment of the breast cancer, and we are all hoping for the best! she is equally thrilled with the results, albeit a bit groggy ...
thanks to her medical team - such amazing and expedient treatment, all of you (our family) for your words of support, and the staff at winthrop university hospital! we’re feeling the love!
a long day passing quickly:
1. kids out of the house, somewhat non-plused by everything (great) and all set to sleep out at friends tonight
2. driving to the plastic surgeon, we feel like abraham and isaac - i take jane to sacrifice (and she is waiting for the administering angel of mercy to tell her ‘never mind’!)
3. my semi-fainting spell upon hearing the details of surgery in doctor’s office
4. the timely and efficient manner in which jane is tested, processed, injected with dye, etc.
5. moving through the basement (bowels of the hospital) giving us intense feeling of being in the movie coma with genevieve bujold - positively draconian!
6. the operation, just on time
7. depressing and gloomy meteorological situation, brightened with visits of wise clergy, ben’s hard-salami-sandwich bearing friends, and medical friends bearing updates ...
7. listening to maroon 5 on andi’s ipod while straining to read the new york times with reading glasses
8. wearing every amulet known to man - giant magen david, israeli knit cap with hebrew text, moroccan magen david ring, three jewish star bracelets from jaffa market, new silver and red kabbalah bracelet gifted last night to jane
9. finally, surgeon appears with good news - second surgeon then appears, and we’re done - yeah
10. seeing jane, with flat-ironed hair in recovery, looking great and so happy with the news!!
11. talking to the kids, they’re good, relieved ...
calls, texts, and good karma sent by all really helps - merci!
more tomorrow, thanks for checking in!!!

I had to read to Chris aloud you and all your grigris. I am sure you were causing somekind of crazy spiritual vortex there in the hospital. What a relief that all went well!
