Took Tommy to see the surgeon, Ramakrishna Tatineni, yesterday morning. He has put Tommy on a careful diet for now and has directed him to get more blood work (this morning), then to see the gastroenterologist (Friday afternoon, up in Lewes), then back to see him next Tuesday morning. By then, we should have a game plan. Meanwhile, on Monday, we had our first cookout of the season, with Patti bringing the baked beans and butternut cake, Frank bringing snacks and wine, Irv bringing the muffins and grilling the ribs, and me providing the first local asparagus and tomatoes of the summer. It was wonderful to have friends over and now we're catching up with our naps--between medical expeditions and physical-therapy sessions, that is.
