A chandelier.

 

Sneak Peek.
Drywall, caulking, primer and paint are done.  The chandelier is in!
Flooring is next.
It's a pretty darn fancy closet room.

Cancer progress:  a three page instruction sheet came for the surgery on the 26th.  The last biopsy with sesation was 45 minutes from check in to leaving. This next one is a general with an anesthesiologist and is booked for six hours.  I did a different blood panel than usual and it looked ok.  An hiv test that hasn't come back yet.  I'm booked for heart tests on Monday at the Duncan hospital. I joined a couple ileostomy groups, one for women, one for anyone.  It's been shocking reading.  I naively thought I might get to sleep through the night, but apparently not.  I also thought diet would be less restricted but again, apparently not.  So, damn.  I'm learning.  I'm horrified at the stories.  There is just nothing great about any of this. I didn't know that stomas make loud noises.  That aren't controllable.  That sounds super fun. Omg.  Also apparently people name their stomas.  Jeeps was a stretch for me...but stomas?!

On Sunday we have a few friends gathering for coffee, a walk and a pub dinner out.  So that's a fun distraction to look forward to.

I'm in bed listening to sirens going completely nuts in town.  I'm guessing there is a big fire.  So many fires lately.  Duncan's finest need to be corralled up.  

Through it all, I miss Finn.  Like crazy.  He took up a lot of my day apparently.

Oh, and I went to Dr Google.  We all know not to do that.  It was scary.  Reading that my cancer is one of 73 cases since 1933 was just not helpful. Prayers needed that the next biopsy is more conclusive and show a less harmful, more common cancer.
