Monday was
a follow-up appointment with the Baltimore Medical Center surgeon who did the
operation in January. It was a reminder
that this sort of thing is never quite over. At her request, we’re arranging
for a CT scan in Bridgton and then a later (when all the recovering tissues
have settled down) PET scan in Reston.
The schlep to Baltimore was a chance
to have a crab cake lunch with an old (well, a “long-time”) college friend. The crab was chunky and delicious, though
light on Old Bay seasoning. (Van has
been known to go overboard with the Old Bay and jalapenos in his crab cakes, so
this was a lesson in the merits of moderation.)
Saturday and Sunday were the trip to
Bridgton and the start of another glorious summer in Maine (current forecast is for a two-blanket
night).
