Much dentist ~ma to askye. I've got the fear myself. While you're there, try deep breathing -- in through your nose, out through your mouth. It actually helps, because it makes you focus on doing that instead of frightening or painful things.

And I'm sorry, vw.

I just got some good news from my dad. They did some exploratory surgery on Mom this afternoon, and found nothing that they didn't already expect (ie, no cancer in unexpected places). So that's one less thing to worry about.

ETA: If the cancer watch-and-post gets too depressing, please let me know. I'd much rather be posting about tiaras and lemurs and getting it on with a cabana boy in the storage room of the local library. But, well, this is what's on my mind right now. Sorry.

I'm glad to hear there was no surprise cancer, Calli. Good news, even qualified good news in a bad situation, is always welcome.

Calli, I am glad that there is some good news.

What the hell. Why are flights so expensive!!

Damn straight. Did I ever tell folks about what happened with the electrocardiologist? We've got surgery scheduled for May 23rd, where they send in a catheter and pinpoint which control circuit is misfiring. Granted "heart surgery on your husband" makes my blood pressure learn the macarena, but the words "the rest of the heart is fine" are worth hearing. This has all been residual damage from the first and worst attack.

Now, if my boss will stop bitching about the cost of health care and trying to think of ways to tricky-foot his way around things and just let the status quo be, we can maybe get things put to rights.

Thanks, y'all!

Where are you trying to fly, Aimée?

{{vw}} You've done what you can. Waiting is the sucky part.

I KNOW! I'm looking at flights to Memphis the first week in June. Blech.
