March 19 - "Quick" trip to Bellingham
Good news. Even though her surgery was postponed/canceled here in Seattle. Colleen’s doctor referred her to the hospital in Bellingham. We (Colleen, Fionn, and I) drove up today to meet the surgeon. It was a good meeting, the doctor felt relaxed and reassuring. Bonus: he will use a robot to do the surgery. Using a robot makes the actual surgery longer, but it reduces any recovery complications. With some helpful visuals, he laid out exactly what he will do, and how it works.
Friday (the 27th), mid-day is when the surgery is scheduled. So even though we’re (she especially) nervous it will be postponed again (it is possible…), the surgeon felt it was highly unlikely that it would be canceled. Fingers crossed!
After the appointment we drove over to a beach August told us about: Locust beach. We enjoyed some socially distant sunshine, picked up some agates, and threw rocks at posts. Then back in the car and returned home.
