The folks in the NY office (whom I don't know as well) were all asking what they could do while I was in town for surgery. I told them find me good bone broth for my post surgery liquid only diet! They also promised to figure out business reasons for me to be in NY so they my company covers my travel for upcoming chemo treatments there. : )

Hugs to you!

Brought all the kids (it’s their spring break) and have been playing tourist. The apartment we were loaned is incredible: 3 bedroom, 3 bath, on the edge of Central Park with the most amazing views and a playground right across the street.
The first day we did some walking and had a crazy dinner at Bar Masa where our pickiest water tried everything including sashimi and uni (sea urchin) with black truffle. The kids were all in great moods and it is a dinner we will remember forever.
Yesterday we did MOMA, hand-ripped Chinese noodles for lunch, shopping for the teens, and pizza and pasta for dinner at a neighborhood place. I broke down and cried for about 20 minutes at MOMA - I hate that our family has to go through this. My husband and stepdaughter hugged me through it.
I’m nervous about surgery but so glad to be able to spend all this time with my husband and the kids.
