BURN ALL THE FILMS

What this is all about. Yeah, the tummy tuck that goes with breast reconstuction is nice and all... but it's hard to imagine anything topping the surgeon comming into the rollercoaster room, handing the pathology report to Nancy and saying all the tissue is CLEAN! " You can frame this report, and burn the films if you like". HELL YES!
I quickly imaged stacking all the years of momogrames, x-rays, MRI's, biopsis, diagrams, letters, folders, emails and pathology reports into a wobbling 6 foot tower - perhaps adding a little karosene, and torching it. Then just standing close in the heat of all that fear and swearing at it until it was ash. Add more karosene and burn it again.

Layers.

Turns out one can hold one's breath longer than one thinks.

Dr. Grissom gave us this amazing news at 12:20. It's been easier to breath since.

Nancy decided not to go home today. Seems a shame to leave the rollercoaster room so soon. I'll check her out tomorrow The baggage already seems lighter. Betty has been the overnight stormtrooper, thank God. She'll be back at it tonight.

Thank you all for your love thoughts.

Tim
