Pre-Op Visit

Hey guys and gal, I know it's been a while.  Thought I give an update from this past Thursday trip to the doctor for pre-op stuff.  I was beyond thankful that all I had to do was go the the doctor's office.  A lot of times you have to go to the hospital for pre-op stuff, which is sometimes a nightmare and usually takes forever.  I went to the doctors office, it took me an hour and I was out of there :)  I had a chat with the PA about the surgery, had an EKG (because of family history of heart disease) some blood work and then I was out.  So, for every one that hasn't read the previous posts, I'll have surgery on February 16th at St. Peter's. One huge blessing that has happened was my mom and step-dad were able to go to Florida earlier then they had planned.  They were set to go on February 17th, the day after my surgery.  My mom was really stressed about leaving right after my surgery.  So after some sleepless nights and a chat with my step-dad they decided to try and change things to go either later or sooner.  Thank the Lord that He worked everything out and they were able to leave yesterday and will be back in plenty of time for my surgery.  This will be a big help with Ethan and me (I don't care what you say, you're never to old for your mommy).  She will be another set of hands ready and willing to help and she knows how our lives work and Ethan schedule.  So I'm very relieved and thankful she'll be here. That's really all I can update you all on.  It's a waiting game, next is surgery, then I'll have more waiting for the pathology report to come back to see if any other course of treatment is needed.  Keep praying, I feel so blessed to have so many people lifting me up the Lord!
