Absolutely! I would love that. Let’s do it. I’m in West LA and travel to the Valley all the time so when you are ready for company just say the word. I can bring coffee or lunch to you while you recover or we can get together when you’re up and about. Take good care. jj

Jane, I’ll be thinking of you on Monday and every day thereafter, sending you positive thoughts and healing energy. There’s no right way to go through such trials…you just simply go through them. As one who was diagnosed with not one, but two cancers in a three-week period, I can tell you that we do get through. It’s what we do. Wish I had some beautiful formula for magical thinking that will comfort you right now; all I can do is point out the the fact that you have a multitude of friends pulling for you. Hold on to that, kiddo.

After surviving a horrific medical year (which included 3 surgeries for Mom with dementia and a brutal skin cancer surgery for me), I promise you that it will all get better and all will be fine, really. Still, thinking of you and sending good thoughts. Hope you have lots of great support to see you through!

I really do believe that about the gifts, Suebob. I don’t think it’s a matter of looking hard enough; for me, it’s always a case of just waiting till I can say, “oh, yeah, I see why x, y or z happened.”

Jess, my first response when I read your comment was to say, “okay, we have a month to get you into a Zen frame of mind.” But then I thought a little more and now I think the worrying is part of your process. It’s how you deal with stuff–and it seems to work for you. So–no Zen for you, missy!

I loved your comment, Joanna. It made me want to sit down across from you and actually talk for a while. Can we arrange to do that in 2014????

Thanks, Carol. I wonder if they’re let me take my iPhone into the OR…then I could live tweet at least till the moment they actually put me under. (And I’m only half kidding!)
