20 September 2024
The day started early at 5:30 am. I needed to get my two cups of coffee in me so I would be awake for Tom’s visit to his surgeon. He arrived a little after 8 and off we went to Hollywood Memorial. We both agreed this little hospital back in the 70’s and 80’s had grown to a massive facility by 2024.
I checked earlier where he was supposed to meet Dr. Buttrick and as it happens, it was in the same office, in the same building, as the neurologist I had been to. I knew exactly where to take him.
Tom was reassured by Dr. Buttrick and scheduled surgery for October 8th. I’ll drive him to his surgery. We have to be there at 6 am for an 8 am surgery.
After getting all the paperwork, we headed back towards my place and stopped at my neighborhood Flanigans for lunch. We were 10 minutes early so we waited until 11. My Flanigans is very good and Tom enjoyed his burger and I enjoyed my fish sandwich. Tom paid for my lunch – like I did anything but add some extra ears to his appointment.
When I got home, I took a nap. I was wasted. It could have been the Bloody Mary I had for lunch.
I’ve put an order in for groceries from Publix. They plan to deliver before 4 pm so someone is doing some fast shopping.
The only thing on my calendar for the next few weeks is a meeting with my oncologist on September 24th and Tom’s surgery on October 8th.
Stay tuned!
