Fear

As each day goes by I find myself thinking more and more about the upcoming date. I am not sure if I am more scared of dying on the table or the results of the surgery.

Test Results

Well so far so good, my blood work is ok and my EKG was normal. I still have not received any results for my Chest X-Ray and that kinda concerns me.

Friends and family

Today was a great day for me and my family, we were invited to a belated wedding reception and it was a great time. The weather today was spectacular and the food was out of this world. We also got to see family members that we have not seen in a long time. Then on the way home we did a pop in on our old neighbor ( best neigbour you could ever ask for) and it felt good to her again. You really don't appreciate old friends and family members until after you are gone and then see them again. Friends and family are something that we did not have in Ohio and it made today's vists mean so much more to us.

Test Results

Ok so today I had an EMG and now they feel that I have some pinched nerves in my back, so to add to all of my upcoming tests I now have to get a MRI of my spine on Monday. Both my legs are turning black and blue ffrom the tests today so I am just going to stay home and relax today.

Tests, Tests, and more tests

Starting tomorrow I start my battery of tests to see if I can be cleared for my surgery. I have a EMG on Thursday and a EKG and Stress test on Friday. Fun Fun Fun

Why Blog?

Well I was asked today as why I am blogging about my upcoming surgery and follow up care, and to be honest I feel that this is the only way that I can express my fears and hopes without cracking up. I have plans to make this blog not just a personal journey, but as a way to help anyone facing cancer and reading about how someone else handled it.
