Brian finally got sprung from the hospital around 5 pm yesterday. He was getting very irritated and his patience was waning before we actually got going. We grabbed some supper at the hospital before we headed to our hotel. Thank goodness for the shuttle service; snow had started with lots of wind. I walked (or more like blew over across the street) to Piggly Wiggly and got some snacks and bottled water.
This morning all travel is at a virtual stop and people not listening to weather advisories were stranded all over the Chicago area. Emergency workers are using snow mobiles to rescue people. No train, bus, or air travel and 16 inches of snow has fallen. Blizzard is to wind down by this afternoon. I did actually hear thunder snow yesterday! We have a cozy hotel room with electricity still up, so lucky we are.
Brian's surgeon came and visited with us before we left yesterday and they did not find any suspicious nodes. He did take a biopsy of a nodule on thyroid that was negative. We are stumped to what showed up on scans but thankful that nothing is there. Now did he really need chemo or was it just some form of inflammation in neck?
CTCA travel agent has got us flying home on Friday due to blizzard and back up of travelers. I will be glad to get home after this unexpected delay. Paqui rescued Rico (dog) yesterday from the vet and our wonderful neighbors the Huddles are braving the very cold (-22) to tend to our horse and cats. We don't know what we would do without them!!
Will post again when we get home safe.
