The Date Has Been Set!
by karenulijohn
Yesterday morning, Dr. Graves’ office called to inform us of the date for Harvey’s surgery. He will be required to check in at Sutter Medical Center Sacramento, Thursday, October 20, 2016. While it will mean an early morning for us to get there on time, I am glad that he will be one of the first surgeries of the day. Our daughter, Dawn, will meet us and stay with me overnight so that we can visit Harvey together on Friday. While no one necessarily volunteers for this type of surgery, Harvey said that he is relieved to have a date for the final stage of his treatment.
As we continue to live day to day, we are looking forward to Sunday when our daughter and grandson, Cole come for a visit. We always enjoy their visits because we laugh and reminisce and share and generally enjoy each other’s company. Cole has a particular fondness for Waffle Barn, so we will likely give him the chance to eat their entire menu at lunch.
I will write again after the surgery to apprise readers of Harvey’s condition, and endeavor to give regular updates. Thank you all for your interest, your thoughts and prayers.

Hi Karen, Glad to hear that things are working out. Harvey has been such a good trooper through all this. Not to forget how wonderful YOU, dear Karen, who was right there, every minute, every day.
You and Harvey will be in my prayers still.

Karen and Harvey, Both Steve and I send our prayers and good thoughts for a successful surgery. I know you have a great support group, but if we can help please know that you can ask us for any help you will need. Love to you both, Sharron
