Back surgery scheduled for Thursday! Dr. Charest was in yesterday and we went over the procedure and I gotz to ask many questions. After all was said n done I feel very confident I'll be mobile and relatively painless in another 5-7 days.
Basically the tumour has weakened my spine to the extent that it cannot support itself so some metal rods, bolts, springs, whatever has to be installed. My only worry is the hospitals proximity to Princess Auto!
Carolyn and I are excited about getting this surgery behind us and then getting home. What remains then are 21 day cycles of Chemo.
Big Jim Dobson was in today. Jim had smuggled salt packets and was going to go find the folks on low sodium diets and sell them for $2 a pop! Always an angle with Jim.
