Checking the Lights

All's well in the Christmas tree lights department, and all is seemingly well in the has-the-cancer-spread-? department, too. Seemingly, because instead of the doc calling - as he said he would, and after waiting all day until after 4, we called, but only got as far as an advice nurse. She read the MRI results, then told us we could take a big sigh of relief, but that we should wait to hear from the doc. Nowadays you hold your breath before taking the aspirin and going to bed.
The rest of the day was just fine for a birthday.
