Surgery tomorrow !

I don't know if someone cancelled, but my craniotomy has been moved to tomorrow - a whole 2 weeks earlier than the 22nd!  That's way closer to the original plan than what we were getting.

Man is this good news for me, and Ki has been calling and leaving messages to request any earlier date that opens...and to let them know some of my symptoms were worsening (vision artifacts, etc) were reverting to pre radiation effect.

I'll be prepping,most of the day, as I check in at 8 am at providence Portland (not St Vincent's),

Then the MRI at 10 am, then surgery at 3:30pm.  No chow or drink past 10am.

My recovery could be quick or a few days.  Hope I get a comfy bed!  I'll have to badger the nurse who sets that up to get a bed extension (the joy of being 6'4'').  Having my feet sticking out and being open game for Ki to tickle isn't a great thought.

Who would think getting in early for brain surgery would be awesome?  But I sure am pleased about it.  Hope it wasn't due to someone having a negative event in their cancer journey occur.  Since we're at Portland prov, rather than st. Vincent's I have to wonder if they had an opening there.

The kitty is going to have to go for a few days with no lap, the poor girl, but she grabs enough lap time uninvited to miss a little bit.

Lets hope this brings some normalcy to how I feel on a day to day basis.
