Good evening to everyone! I chose the relaxing picture to your left as it's very peaceful, and that's how I'm feeling now that the office visit is over.
Tonight's blog post will be brief, as I just got home from the hospital and it's near 7pm. Have dinner to get ready and lots of other things!
Accordingly, here's a very brief overview of what happened, with more to follow probably Thursday evening.
Good news
The big, bad, (black) tumor is outta here! My surgeon (who I now adore) told me the recovery I've had is nothing short of remarkable, and that's the very adjective he used. I like that adjective! I went through the exam pain free and even watched on the screen this time while the procedure took place.
My surgery will be October 28, a Tuesday, and will last approximately 4.5 hours. I will be in the hospital for about 5 days.
Once he's working on me in surgery, he will better be able to tell what he can do for me as far as keeping everything in place, which he will do everything in his power to do that. If he can't keep everything in place, then he will proceed with the invasive surgery (and I learned that if I must have invasive surgery that it's not be a big deal at all -- I can't believe now how big a deal I thought it might be - there we go with 'thinking' again).
Bliss was not able to make it today due to an illness, so Marjie, Elizabeth, and Maribeth were there for her and for me. It was wonderful to have all of them there! I'm feeling very loved right now, and I am so grateful. Bliss, I sure hope you are feeling better soon.
Bad News
There is none! Have a wonderful evening and week, and I plan to see you back here probably Thursday evening.
Thanks to all for their love and prayers. Could be that by the time the surgery is here the ulceration will have lessened, considerably. It's possible. The surgeon said so. In fact, I've learned first-hand that anything is possible.
Peace.
