It's a date...

Well, I have a surgery date, though not as soon as I was hoping for...
The surgeon's office called this afternoon and told me they scheduled me for Tuesday, Jan. 22 at noon at Renown. I had wanted to go to St.'s, but Dr. Harris is already in surgery at Renown that day. I would have to wait even longer if I still opted for St. Mary's.
The plastic surgeon is on vacation this week, so that put it out a bit too. I have a Pre-op appt with him on the 16th.
I must admit, I felt pretty upset when they called, but what are ya gonna do?!?
I just have a hard time not letting my mind wander to that place of wondering if those cancer cells are finding their way out of the breast and traveling elsewhere. I just want it done. I guess that's the worst part of having this beast... The waiting and the wondering.
All I can do at this point is learn to be more patient and know that God walks before me.
Hmmm... Kinda sad, but I was supposed to be laying on a warm sunny beach in Hawaii on the 22nd...

Lois, there's no way those bad boys can spread outside of the breast area. There are too many positive thoughts, prayers, and energy coming your way! So maybe you won't be on the beach this month, but I can't think of a better place to recuperate from surgery. Chuck and I are streaming our love your way. Mary

Thank you, Mary! I needed to hear those words today. Try as I might, I found it hard to stay real positive today. It's nice to have the reminders!
Thank you, and Chuck, for the love coming my way... I'm feelin' it! Love you guys!

I truly believe everything happens for a reason, which is not always revealed to us... Part of His plan! Love and prayers continue from here too! How long do you have to be in the hospital? I'm planning to take a few days off to come up, so let me know what works best for you and Scott. (I know you're saying "you don't have to"--yes, I do!). Love, Laura

Thanks, Laura, and yes, you know me well! But I would love for you to be here. My stay will probably be three days, hopefully fewer, but since we live so far away, they may want me to stay for all three.
We'll talk! Love you.
