This has been a good weekend even though the most of the weekend was rainy. I have been trying hard to find the positives in my "monster situation". Yesterday provided one of those opportunities.
My "A" has been wonderful. I know the fear has been just as great for her as it has been for me. Maybe more so. Over the past several months she has focused herself to get ready for the Bluenose Marathon that is run annually through Halifax and Dartmouth. She was excited yesterday AM. I was glad I for her and extremely happy to be part of this event.
We went to the starting line and we waited for the 10 km event to start. She was off and I was planned to go home and wait for a phone call to pick her up after the race. It then dawned on me --- "I must wait for her. I have to see her cross the finish line". That is the least I could do. She waited for me for 7 hours while I was having the monster removed. I guess I could wait 1-1/2 hours at the beautiful Citadel Hill in Halifax (even if it was raining). I waited and had fun with Max. I had one problem ... too much coffee in the morning. Here is where having prostate surgery has an advantage; I was wearing "astronaut underwear". I had the technology to deal with the wait; no sweat. I did.
"A" placed 974 out of 1238. I am proud of her.
