I’m Here!

It’s very good to be back at the place that I love so much. The getting here was a bit much for me though. I am very tired. It rained all weekend, which made our homecoming soggy to say the least! I over estimated my stamina. Now at 8:00p on Sunday night, I find myself achy and worn to a frazzle.

Tomorrow, we have to go on up to Portland for one of my very favorite things: An MRI! Oh, how I hate that dang tube! But I have some handy-dandy Valium to calm the claustrophobia. I have to get used to these things. ( The MRI’s not the Valium!) I will be having quite a few over the next five years. I will also be getting a chest x-ray.

We are staying at the same hotel I spent five weeks camping out for my radiation. Just over night and in a double this time. We see Dr. House Tuesday morning for a pre-op chat. He will look over the MRI and Chest pictures and answer a long list of questions from me. I hope. After that, I have to check in with the anesthesiologist for his pre-op. And have some other test done to make sure that I am ready to roll!

Edge of Close.

I am not going to ramble on tonight. But I will have time to write on the way up to Portland tomorrow. I just wanted to check in and let you know that I am happy to be home, but too tired to chat.

One more thing . . . I wish I could give each of you a hug and tell you how much I appreciate you. Your thoughts and prayers and messages of encouragements . . . it keeps me from throwing in the towel! You help me cowboy up when I need to. This time next week, I will be . . . I will probably be scared silent. Me? Silent? Go figure.

Love and Thanks to all,
