Hurry Up and Wait


Such is the life of a chronically ill person and their family.
Wait on a hospital bed, wait on the Doctor, wait on the medicine, the tests, the insurance…
Wait, wait, wait!

So that’s what we’re doing now, waiting on the surgeon who has three scheduled surgeries today back to back.
This man is an oncology surgeon, which means he can maneuver well around scar tissue, a major deterrent for most general surgeons.
He is we’re told, worth the wait.

TC is in her room, a nice big private one in the new wing at KU.
I wish I could say she was resting comfortably, but they just inserted a drainage tube and she is anything but.
Her surgeon will be in late this afternoon or early evening, I highly doubt any surgery will be done today.
So we wait.

The highlight of the day was when TC received a surprise visit by “Buccleigh”, an Old English sheepdog.
Most of you know that TC, Founder and President of KCPetConnect, loves animals more than she loves “most” humans.
Nothing could have brightened her day more.
Buccleigh promised to come back tomorrow, which is something TC can really look forward to.

Thank you for your overwhelming response to my prayer request.
We are truly humbled.
