Mayo follow up

Back from Mayo for a followup visit today which turned into an unexpected spot of further surgery for Rob. They REALLY want to make sure that scalp tumor doesn't come back.

But the doctor did say the wound seems to be healing well. It's just a little deeper now (and again, they'll biopsy what was removed today).

I'm relieved. Rob had been experiencing a ramping up of pain the past couple of days, as well as the sort of sensations he'd had before when the tumor was growing previously.

The doctor also went out and picked out the bits of gauze threads I hadn't been able to remove because Rob was too squeamish to allow me to dig them all out. (Since the doctor's not married to Rob, he's more willing to be ruthless). It was a relief to hold Rob's hand and let someone else do the hurting for a change. I HATE hurting him.

Keep sending those hate waves at Athena, people. She's about as stubborn as Rob.
