We are less than 24 hours from Tanja’s appointment with the neuro team. We are hoping that they will tell her to cast aside her collar and go free, but there’s always the chance they will not do that but do the other thing instead. We’ve been practicing relentless positivity, but as the hours tick by there is a general tension building around the non-zero percent possibility that we will be given the option which must not be named.

It’s all anyone can think about. And since we’re also determined not to talk about it, things are quite quiet here tonight. Almost too quiet.
