Surgery Prep

I am in my rounds of doctors visits prepping for surgery.
Yesterday was my pre-screening at Highland Hospital - blood work, forms, private vs. semi-private room (I chose private and will pay $40 per night for that - I think that's worth it!), and an EKG at my request. Normally, they don't require an EKG for women under 50 or men under 40 before surgery. I asked for it since, chemo can put strain on your heart - so I wanted to make sure it was OK. It is. My heart is fine (just cannot be too cautious - a little hypochondriac possibly).

Today is my visit to Dr. Yurinec, my oncologist at Pluta. Just more blood work and a check-up. I can't wait to see Gaile - it's been 3 weeks! Feels weird not to have seen her. I will even drive through a foot of snow to get to Pluta this morning. Kid you not - we are in a winter snow warning until midnight tonight. With probably 8 inches on the ground now and it's still snowing.

Tomorrow, I see Dr. Caldwell, my general surgeon - again to go over the surgery etc.........

In addition - we are really busy prepping for surgery, preparing for Christmas, shoveling snow (hee hee) and at work I have been in workshops for 2 weeks getting ready to install a new supply chain planning system. So, life has been hectic lately!

I look forward to having my surgery and getting it done - but being at home for 4-6 weeks has me a little nervous. What will I do? I think CJ will drive me nuts (he is still a complete wild maniac!). At least we have the Christmas holiday to occupy us. And hopefully, the snow stays - that keeps everyone entertained!

Oh yah - I do have more hair growth. Still sparse, and very white! But more growth!
