4 days until surgery!

So the countdown's on to surgery date,  Monday, 4-19-10 @ 1 p.m. at Mercy Hospital.  Finally I get my full hysterectomy!  Yiiiippppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  :)  While I'm in surgery they will also be looking inside my abdomen for any new tumors and they will check the 1st surgery site as well. 

Jay will be taking me to the hospital and staying with me until they wheel me into the OR.  Surgery should last about 3.5 hours.  I'm hopeful that once we receive the pathology back on my uterus we will finally have a complete diagnosis which will be most helpful in planning my ongoing chemotherapy.    I will most likely be in the hospital for 5 - 7 days.

I've spent this week get organized, eating yummy food at my favorite places and trying places I've always wanted to, seeing as many people as I can and getting lots of good rest.  I'm happy to report I've gained 5 pounds since my last hospital discharge  :)

My wig should be in today (hopefully) or tomorrow.  Stay tuned for a picture of my cute new hair!

Until next time, thank you all for your continued support, love and prayers.  You are all awesome!!!
