Day 96- Goodbyes
Went to the hospital Casey spent five years in. We met up with her favorite nurses, her lung surgeon, and a couple other people.
Some part of me will always be there. Part of me will always be on the oncology floor, and in the ICU, and in the oncology day clinic. Going back just proved that to me. When I move to Seattle, obviously part of me will be left in Milwaukee. But it'll be at the medical college campus. This place defined my last five years. When I think about her bone surgeon telling her the extent of her cancer, and the size of the surgery required, when I think about the look on his face, and the fact that there was nothing I could do to stop everything that happened, it still feels like a punch to the chest. I can't imagine that that will ever stop.
Leaving this hospital is harder, for me, than leaving the tree her ashes are buried under.
