   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.   
      
   --   
   Best regards!
