Not Coming Home Today
Maybe tomorrow…they decided they want to have her stay an extra day for observation. Better safe than sorry, especially since we’re an hour away from this hospital.

Wifey Under The Knifey
Wendy is currently in surgery. She’s already been poked, prodded and irradiated and now comes the surgery. I write this from my phone in the waiting room.
