Surgery Planned for Tuesday, Sept. 1

My neurosurgery is scheduled for early Tuesday, Sept. 1.  It was delayed 1.5 weeks because my platelet counts weren't high enough.  Hopefully, they'll be high enough next week and I can get this port!

Also hopefully I won't have to sit in pre-op for twelve hours hours like I did last week. It was one of the more interesting places to hang, as everybody is a lil' nervous, and all kinds of people are in there together with huge scales in the severity of their situations. Some are grateful just to be there, as they get another chance to fight stage 4 cancer, while others are giving the nurses flack for lecturing them on how they need to stop drinking energy drinks all day after their 2nd heart surgery. Hopefully, I'll be in and out, and then recovering the rest of the day!

As for the weekend, I'm laying low and catching back up on sleep from the dose of steroids I got this week.  Bree's family is coming through and we're gonna spend some time with them. Lauren and KKell are also visiting from the Bay Area, and we're excited to see them too.
