I had a nice detailed plan for today. My friend Molly would pick me up at 10:30. I would have more than enough time to arrive at the medical office, complete paperwork and get in for my procedure by 11:00am.  Building in some buffer to the estimate I was given when the procedure was scheduled, I figured we could be out of there by 12:30.  

But then school was delayed 2 hours. So we adjusted the plan and decided that Molly and I could manage school drop-off on the way to my appointment.

But then Molly got a flat tire. So we adjusted the plan again.  I took a Lyft to drop-off the boys and get to the medical office. (I think the boys enjoyed the novelty of the 2hour delay and the ride in a Lyft.). Molly was able to get her tire changed and wait out a Pence motorcade, and still met me at the office before I was whisked away from the waiting room.

But, as I was walking back with the nurse, I learned that instead of an hour, I would be there at least 2 1/2 hours. So Molly quickly made a plan to have lunch with her significant other while I was taking my anesthesia nap. 

In the end, everything seems to have gone well. And I am once again grateful for adaptable, generous and funny friends. It is good to be the cackling in the waiting room cackling with laughter despite the frigid weather and a crappy cancer diagnosis. ❤️
