I can't believe that this coming Wednesday will be six weeks since my last chemo and radiation treatments and then my surgery is the following Wednesday!!! Where has the time gone?
I am getting really anxious about this surgery. I was just at Shawnee Mission Medical Center on Friday for some pre-surgery testing. EKG, gave MORE blood, did some x-rays, etc, etc and went over surgery and recovery. The nurse told me the details of the surgery (I am a bit freaked) and to expect to possibly be in the hospital for anywhere from 6 to 10 days... before I'd been told 5 to 7 days so I'm curious to find out how long it will really be. I knew this was pretty major surgery, but I've been "putting it out of my mind" so I didn't have to think about it. It sounds like I am going to be completely out of commission for all of July and most, if not all, of August. Good grief!
I cannot express enough how much I appreciate everyone's prayers and kind words. I recieved a message on Facebook from a grade school/high school friend who's husband had cancer, and she advised me "to stay in the moment at all times". I cannot tell you how right on she is. In reality, if I think about this too much, it's very worrisome and the "what if's" scare me more than you can even imagine. Thankfully, I've been feeling pretty good the last few days which helps my overall well-being. Did a day trip yesterday with the mom's and Randy to Springfield, MO to check out Fantastic Caverns. Fun, fast trip...
Happy Father's Day to all and hope you have a terrific week! Take care!
