Surgery results

On Wednesday, I went for surgery them to do a status report and insert a sleeve so that I can do internal radiation. First of all, the results look really good. YAY!!!

Second, the sleeve didn't work out. SO, they inserted this strange apparatus. It was very uncomfortable but at least there are muscle relaxers and pain killers. I had one treatment on Wednesday, spend Wednesday and Thursday in the hospital and a second treatment on Friday. Other than the uncomfortableness, the major pain is that I have to lay flat on my back from the time I am in surgery until they finish the second treatment on Friday. That means almost about 48 hours flat on back, no moving, at all....YUCK! Eating and drinking while flat SUCKS! But wait, there's more! I have to do ALL of this again this next Wednesday through Friday. Happy Dance!! The procedure itself isn't bad it's just everything around it that is uncomfortable and painful. So the good news is, I have three days to go, and then just a few regular radiation treatments to "boost" what I'm doing now.

So, everything's going well (just uncomfortable in two bursts) and I'm almost done. Thanks for your support, prayers and thoughts!! Love to all!
