Oh well…
Just when you think you are out of the woods, there stands another thicket. Machete at the ready, we just keep swinging away because the alternative… well, there is none. The pathology report came back on Jinni’s breast tumor today.
Cancerous tumors usually are pretty well defined, however, it is what happens on the “margins” of [...]

His writing quickly received a bunch of comments from a wide array of points of view.

Our across the street neighbor Louisa Lauver continues to paint and blog some of the beauty in what I see when I look out my windows here on Cypress Street in the Aycock Historic District.

Reporting in
Jinni is back home completely intact except for the cancer. Good riddance.
She is sitting at the kitchen table eating a good ol’ greasy Biscuitville breakfast. Her left wing is a bit sore, but other than that - so far - none the worse for wear.
I was wrong about the final pathology report on the tumors [...]

So far, so good
The old cliche’ you hear from the surgeon when he walks into the waiting room is, “well… it looks like we got it all.”
