The obvious question in the mind was - "What is next ?" ! Diagnosis is done. Family knows.
Boss knows.
The first thought that comes to head ( its a long drive alone, from Apollo to my home in the evening hours) -
"Very rarely one gets such predefined amount of time and warning to plan one's future. Life is not usually this kind. Any event that has to happen, it would just happen. And the people will have to go through what they have to".
This is certainly positive, that this event gives you a written report with the extend of the eminently treatable condition, and offers you time to plan the plan A and the plan B.
Multiple thoughts scramble in the head. One week before the surgery and treatment starts. And many things could be cleaner.
The Pent House Booking, partial payment is done, a lot more has to be done.
Wife has not used her ATM card yet ? She does not even know where is her ATM card and what is the PIN ?
Re-orgs at the job ?? Have been in mind for a while. But can they wait for ever, or will it create un-necessary spread out interface points when I am not in the picture ?
Not sure if all the investments have nominations filled up correctly ?
Consolidated information about insurances, investments ? Someone has to know. So far wife had paid no attention to these things !!!
Need to get my brother over. I need support during surgery.
How many people I know closely can persuade to get off tobacco as soon as possible ?
These were part of many questions, which fell in the bucket of Plan B. Without wait, started calling the right people. A close friend worked with the builder the cancel the pent house booking and in-fact even collect back the hefty sum already paid. Wealth manager came with all investment information consolidation and nomination closure forms. I found the ATM card for wife, took her to an ATM and asked her to withdraw money herself. And that was a moment, she cried. She did accuse me of thinking too negatively. My clam, cool way to explain that this is just planning for the worst while continuing to hope for the best, was of not much use.
Called a staff meeting. Pre-poned some of the organization ordering, which was already known and communicated by about 1 or 2 quarters. Set proxy for all business processes.
What about Plan A - The treatment ? The panel of right doctors ? The right hospital to have the surgery ?
That one I left to the ever-so-powerful intuition, the feeling of the surgeon's smooth stroke during Biopsy. And the doc came with the right oncologist, the right plastic surgeon, the right anesthesiologist, the right hospital - overall the right team !
Just when life warned me, "There is nothing that you plan. A moment can change it all", I had my sense of gratification for being able to "plan" it all !!!
