Hello, All.

Things are getting real.

I spent Early Friday morning in a hospital parking lot, while my wife
went in for a Pre-Op Anesthesia appointment, because our "New Normal"
world doesn't allow non-patients in. 7am Monday, I will be dropping her
off at the hospital for surgery to remove half, or possibly all, of a
kidney because a few weeks ago they discovered a growth that is likely
cancerous.

Then all that I can do is go home and wait for a phonecall. If
successful, they already  plan on her being in the hospital for 3 days,
and no visitors.

If this weren't enough, my wife is a cancer survivor already, when she
was much younger. I'm not familiar with any time a second time around
with cancer goes as well as expected.

This in itself is bad enough. But my first wife died of cancer 24 years
ago this month. And that is weighing especially hard on me, that history
is repeating.

I can't really tell my wife this, I don't need to put any extra stress
on her.

So I vent, here, for no other reason than it had to be somewhere.
