Maybe I should say not so bright... I have to be at UAMS to check in @ 5 am Tuesday morning. Looks like I will probably go back for surgery at ~ 8:30.

Awake...
Finally out of the anesthesia and focus fog. I had a headache for 2 days solid... I think it was from being held upside down for nearly three hours. Much better today. I had surgery on Tuesday around 8 am. Dr. Burnett and Dr. Sills were excellent, best staff all the way around. They say the surgery went well, they removed all lymph nodes and a third of my Koslopus. Won't know about the pathology until probably next week some time.
I am still having quite a bit of pain but much better from the other day.
Will update again when I am more coherent.

My head is crazy!
Thankful I am for great friends who have shown such care for me during this time of chaos.
I know I have a lot to be grateful for and I am nowhere near a situation like so many others out there fighting the kancers.
Yesterday I had my pre-anesthesia screening at the UAMS and all I can hope is that the RN I saw yesterday has nothing to do with my surgery next week. 😊 She couldn't get my name right, called my doctor by my name and thought I was having a hysterectomy. Lord, if she is involved next week please check to see if I come out of surgery with both legs! I waited for the incorrect Disney Point to top it off...as she passed me on to the laboratory vampires.
I was trying not to get crazy when she said "Will you accept a blood transfusion?" "you know that area is very vascular and it is needed frequently.".
Attack of the crazies in full on mode!
So the rest of the day, I worried and had the crazies uhaul there butts right up in my head. They have now officially moved in and unloaded the truck.
The procrastinator in me put off all kinds of work, laundry and packing until late last night. With all of this I make myself miserable and inconvenience the one that matters to me most.
But I made it thru and I am now headed to Boston for a couple days of unenjoyable fun!
