Tomorrow we will leave NWTN for Nashville the weekend so that The Triathlete can have surgery. A few weeks ago she got back a blood test with some worrying numbers, so after a consultation with the same oncologist that treated Honey, she set up a procedure for a full hysterectomy. She will have the procedure laparoscopically on Friday morning, and will spend the remainder of the MLK weekend hopefully getting in good enough shape to make the drive back on Monday.

We are all a little tense about it, though not particularly worried that this will turn into a long term cancer battle. The main thing is minimizing her risk and taking out the parts that would be most likely to cause trouble.

To her credit, and unsurprisingly, she has spent this last week ministering to her friends and keeping up a pretty active schedule. I think she wants to get as much living in as she can before she has to be sedate for a while. The 15-20 days of taking it easy may make her crazy.

I have many reasons to be thankful for her and to admire her, but the energy she is able to muster and spend on other people is astonishing.
