Morning with Spiro

The morning of our Spiro appointment. No one slept last night including the cats. Tess was reviewing our last meeting at the breakfast table.

Tess being Spiro:
Big Smile. “So. This is the worst cancer possible.”
Big Smile. “And in addition.....”
Big Smile. “I don’t sugar coat.” “It’s hard to get in to me.”
Big Smile. “I’m not good with emotions.”
Big Smile. “That’s why I have Sally and Michelle.”
Big Smile.

And Tess’s favorite Sally comment following Tess’s statement, “And by the way, I came out of that office feeling like crap.”

Sally: “Define crap.”

Then Tess went off on an entire skit defining “crap” followed by Sally’s social science trained dialog........”define embarrasment,” “define anger,” “define the f-word.” She had me in stitches.
But we have heard his patients wind up loving him and I have the highest regard for Sally who I think is a genius and Tess loves Michelle.
