doing "next"

Dad’s released from the St. Luke’s. YEAH! This week he has follow-up appointments with Powell (Internal Medicine), Monte (the surgeon), and Repka (oncology). This starts what we know will be at least 4 weeks of waiting for him to recover from surgery before they can start on chemo. Dad’s eating a bit, but we’re not sure what’s good or bad for him to eat. It’s also difficult because a decision needs to be made about whether to do chemo (we think yes, at least to give it a shot), but are unsure about whether to go to one of the 3 top places (Mayo, someplace in Texas, or Zion, IL), or to stay local at St. Luke’s. Once Mayo is decided upon, there’s a delay in when the earliest appointment can be scheduled. They schedule one for the 27th/28th. However, Dr. Farreeha (who Jean Godfroy (Waters)) works with, gets a Mayo appointment for the 21st/24th. We take it!
