Got my orders. I am to check in at Edward Hospital at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. My surgery doesn’t begin until 10:00 a.m.. I will spare you the gory details about what I will be doing during those four hours inbetween. If all goes well I should be discharged by 2:00 p.m..
Tomorrow is the day I find out if the cancer has spread to my lymph nodes. I won’t know until I wake up from surgery if this is the case. This is what scares me the most.
On a lighter note, today we had severe storms in the Chicago area. My friend Anne was driving home on the interstate around that time and out her left she said it was dark and scary and on the right it was bright and sunny. And then she said she saw this HUGE brilliant rainbow. That rainbow was out the entire ride home she said. Thank you Anne for my sign today. I couldn’t have asked for a better one.
