12/5 Sat update

[Gay Haldeman]

Thanks for the good wishes, all. Gay and I are both still adjusting  
to the idea -- I guess out of self-preservation we haven't let  
ourselves be too optimistic.

It was undramatic enough. The doc looked at my tubes and wounds and  
said, well, you could go home now if you want. Do you feel okay to fly?

In fact, I'm not sure I would need a plane.

Just have to get in touch with my primary care doctor at the VA in  
Gainesville, who will hook me up with a couple of specialists -- a  
gastrointestinal surgeon and a radiology person (who follows up on  
CRT results). Then let un-nature take its course.

Then there are the non-medical complications of having lived in a  
borrowed apartment for months. Getting everything spic and span and  
scouring the place for our gear. Mail home a few boxes of books and  
magazines. Get the borrowed car in shape.

As a celebration, when it got dark we drove through "A Holiday in  
Lights" at a local park, Sharon Woods. Lots of garish electricity in  
the service of Santa and Hannukah and Xmas and all. We stopped at an  
exhibition hall and watched a Scrooge puppet. Gay got her annual  
gingerbread man. Gosh, the excitement.

Joe

_I_ enjoyed the lights, anyway.  Love, Gay
