Update: the antibiotics and MucinexD are doing their job...I am feeling a lot better tonight...should be all systems go for tomorrow. They called and moved me up an hour so surgery should be at 10....she said it should take about an hour and then its just a matter of how long it takes me to come out of anesthesia...that's usually a long process.....thanks for the prayers!!!
8:37 pm - I just heard about Stan Mason passing away after a 3 year battle with cancer....my prayers go out to Lissa and their entire family during this very sad time...my heart breaks for all of them....
It's been a long week already....after a perfect weekend I started getting sick on Monday....as the day went on my throat was killing me, I started coughing, my face hurt from clogged sinuses, my ears started aching and I started getting aches all over...it just seemed to come on so fast! After Jillian's soccer game I went straight to the Urgent Care clinic thinking I would get an antibiotic for a sinus infection and be on my way. Unfortunately, the doc there had other plans...he said he thought I was getting the flu and said go home and rest...I told him about surgery on Thursday and he said "maybe you will need to cancel...just wait and see". Last night was miserable....I couldn't take anything for the pain because the anesthesiologist doesn't want you to take any tylenol or anything like that for several days b4 surgery because it can cause bleeding issues during surgery. I called my ENT first thing this morning but their first available appt was at 3:30 today...I spent most of the day napping and just feeling like crap. When I finally got in to see Dr. L. he said it was a sinus infection and gave me an antibiotic...he said that it should hopefully clear things up b4 surgery on Thursday. Hopefully, I will be able to get back to work tomorrow and be better for surgery at 11 on Thursday...this is certainly not how I thought this week would go....
If surgery is a go on Thursday Bret will post something once it's over....if it gets delayed I will post an update....
Prayers going out to JD and family this week....another round of chemo is history!

Man Jan - when it rains, it pours.... UGHHH.... I HOPE indeed you feel better today! I know anticipation of the surgery has to weigh on you - and mentally you are prepared, so even thoughts of having to postpone would drive me nuts! Hopefully today you're feeling better..... Thanks for thinking about us.... JD did pretty good for the most part. MUCH better at the hospital. Got sick several times between 8:30PM and 11:00PM.... I convinced him that another Ativan was in order. He didn't argue much... (he likes those! :))....... He slept the night away. I'm at work this AM, then will go home after lunch and finish working from there. If you can, please post a little something on how you are feeling today..... Love you! Sue
Hey Jan - just checking in again (sorry!).... You're on my mind. Just wanted to let you know I'll be praying for you tomorrow and hope all goes on without a hitch.... I'll be checking in so make sure Bret keeps us posted! Love you bunches..... Sue
Good luck with all of this. Always thinking of you.
Karen
