after some back and forth i finally have an appointment with dr. runi, a surgical oncologist up in palo alto (march 22, same day as colleen's surgery). she requested all of my medical records from packard and stanford hospitals. i don't think she had any idea just what she was asking for, ha. i can't imagine what 15 years of my medical records look like but it appears she's only getting my mri mammograms and info about my radiation to start. i guess there'll be no real news on that until i meet with her in a few weeks.
rory hasn't brought up the boob issue with me again but has informed me that he'll probably be moving to fresno (where S and R are) in aprilish. that's about 2.5 to 3 hours from here. i'm not upset about this but it'll mean some juggling of schedules again. his initial offer was to have the kids from after school on friday until monday morning when school starts. i told him that i think it would be super stressful to the kids to do that drive/adjustment every weekend (leaving at 4:30AM monday morning sounds like hell to me!). he agreed that since there's at least a three day weekend or break every month of school maybe we could do an amended schedule with longer visits. i'm oddly excited for the kids, really hopeful that things will continue to go well between rory and S. the kids (and i) adore her and R (who is lorenzo's age, almost exactly). i envision allowing them to have some of the holidays in the future, a more tradition blended family schedule. i know, it sounds strange to me too. i don't know what happened.
