On we go

 

Hi everyone,

I just got back to the motel.  I had my procedures yesterday and they kept me overnght for pain management.

On Friday I went for 2 surgeries.  For the first we had to check in at 5:30 am.  What they did in that procedure was put a wire into the lymph node they are concerned about.  They used a ct scan to find the node.  That wire was left in so the next surgeon could find the right lymph node to cut out. 

The second surgery was done around 1:30 pm.  During the waiting time I could not move the bottom of my body.  That was necessary so that the wire would stay in place.  Alicia and Michelle, our daughters from Colorado Springs, came and kept Duane company during the procedures and visited with me when I got admitted.  It was wonderful seeing them.

So here I am back at the motel.  I feel OK.  We are controlling the pain.  As long as we do that, I am happy.  We are both happy and VERY Tired.

We now await the biopsy result.  The results are expected by Tuesday.  We are hoping for a clear report so that we can go on to the next option.  That is what to hope and pray for, an option.

Thank you for your prayer and wishes, and keep them coming.

Love to all,

Arleen and Duane
