The Clock is Ticking

Tic Toc.  Tic Toc.

My current coping mechanism is to try to forget that we thought we were past all this, and instead take the view that we got a nice, extended break in therapy, and we're now entering the next stage of treatment.  This way I get to look at the summer in a positive light.

But time is ticking away.  We learned this morning that Harper's central line will go back in, via surgery, on Monday morning.  We will arrive at 6:30 AM, be in surgery by 7:30 and, immediately upon completion of the surgery, be admitted to the hospital to start the next round of chemo.

We're happy that it looks like we'll get the same surgeon as we have had before.  We really like her, and feel more comfortable with the procedure with her with the scalpel. 

Until then, we'll be trying to act as normal as possible, and enjoy the time we have.  Swimming is high on Harper's list of things to do, as once the line is back in, swimming will be much harder to do.

The clock is ticking.  Our "break" time is running out.
