Surgery!

Tomorrow is another day of surgery for me. I told the guy who checked me in for a pre-surgery scan that if the hospital had a reward program for frequent users I'd have millions of points. My first ultra-sound to locate and mark the inflamed lymph node in my neck that needs to come out went quickly. Upon my return to the lobby I told Sherri I had good news- 'It's a boy!' I told her.

According to my scan, I am all clear except for this slightly over-sized node. Doc said we could watch it or take it out though he preferred to have it removed. Sherri and I quickly agreed we wanted it out as well. If it's just inflamed well then that's good news and if it is cancer of a sort then it's good news to get it out as well.

Day of Surgery
OK... ready for another cut. I've had nothing to eat or drink since midnight which may not sound like a big accomplishment but on the good side this may serve as the start of a reduced eating plan which I am sorely in need of (sorry to end that sentence with a preposition for all you English majors). OK, gotta go grab one last shower and a clean pair of underwear. Be back shortly to tell you what God told me while I was under anesthesia. : )

Blest Regards,
