I got the call this morning - the second surgery - the LAST surgery - is scheduled for next Wednesday. I have to be at the hospital by 6:30 a.m.
I finally was able to enjoy a hot shower. But the enjoyment of it was short-lived when I had to re-dress the suture sites. I became very pale and had to separate myself from the fact that the person in the mirror with the hideous incision lines was me. Don't get me wrong - I'm not playing "poor lil' ol' me." It's just that I had avoided looking at them until yesterday and it was like looking at a stranger.
So Tuesday I meet with the Oncology staff and then with Dr. Hammond and they will 'teach' me about the chemotherapy. Wednesday - surgery.
I get my little man back shortly and he will keep my mind occupied for the next few days.
Thanks for checking in.

Doris, OK--6:30?? Now THAT'S a killer. Glad you had the thrill of a hot shower. Sometimes with that hot water beating on my back I can almost fall asleep again. The Jake man -- I have the cute picture of him -- he looks so squeezable. Enjoy! AML, Nora
