Busy Week Ahead

      Lot's of things going on this next week.  On Monday I have to go the hospital in Fort Smith to do blood-work for my upcoming surgery.  That is scheduled for 11 a.m.  When I get through with that I have to head to Fayetteville to have an echo-cardiogram.  This has nothing to do with the cancer but with my pulmonary fibrosis.  I have to have one done every year.  This is to make sure the fibrosis hasn't developed in to pulmonary hypertension.  Hopefully all will be well with that test.
       Wednesday is the big day for surgery.  At 9 a.m. I go to the Women's Center to have markers inserted into the tumors.  Then I have to be at the hospital by 11 a.m. to check in for the surgery.  They will inject me with some type of concoction that I will have to wait 2 hours to spread before they can begin the surgery.  The surgery will require an overnight stay.  
       Today, I have had a lot of lower back pain.  I don't know what that is all about, but it is starting to really get on my nerve!!!  
       Well that is all I can think of for now.  Will check back in next week.

Love to all,
Shawn
