I am not a very emotional person and normally emotions do not impact me that much, but on Friday when I was randomly listening to songs, a song came on that made me appreciate my wife. The song was from Griffen & Slander – All you need to know (ft. Calle Lehman), and it is…
Yesterday on post-op day 4 I was discharged from the hospital. I met my doctor in the morning and he asked how I was doing and if I wanted to go home that day. I said yes that I could manage at home as there was very little pain and benefit from me staying at…
I am a little disappointed that I could not hit my discharge date of Friday. I am not surprised as I was in no condition to be discharged yet. Everyday gets easier now and I will be out today or tomorrow barring some thing weird happening. I walk more and more everyday. I have a…
I had surgery 2 days ago and it went well. Originally he took out 50% and then sent it to pathology. There was no sign of cancer in those cells but he decided to err on the side of caution and took out more. There is some discrepancy on whether he took out 80 or…
6:30 – I am waiting in the surgery admission room now. It is interesting how many people are here first thing in the morning. The atmosphere here is much different than last time. A lot of the people this morning have a support person with them. Not everyone is here for overnight, but people have…
Today I spoke with the surgeon and the washing from last week is all clear with no signs of cancer there. The CT scans from a couple of weeks ago are normal as well, so we will proceed with the surgery. He is anticipating taking out 50 to 75% but he is going to leave…
The kids will be going to my parents for the beginning of the week as I need to be at the hospital for 6am. Last week when Xavier tried to connect his laptop for school he could not because of the security that I had setup on the home network. This morning we drove over…
Yesterday I had my first surgery. It was originally suppose to be at 8am, but was moved to 11:20. I am all right with that since I would have had to get up at 4:45am to start getting ready. I had to take my medication by 5am, and then not have anything to drink from…
Yesterday when I came in for pre-admisson there was someone at the entrance asking for money. I never carry cash so did not give him any. The lady behind me asked him what he needed the money for and he said for some food at Tim Hortons. She proceeded to give him enough money so…
Tomorrow I go to the hospital for my 3 hr pre-admission. I need to remember to bring my note book and to write everything down. During this time I have some bloodwork and meet some people. I am not sure what to expect. If it was a Thursday I would have gone in a suit….
