Happy Holidays Everyone

I've been remiss and not said something sooner! Shame on me!

Happy Holidays everyone! Enjoy the snow, your families and some hot coco or cider!

Best to all of you!

No headway in Seattle, so I headed home

Title says it all. No one could help in Seattle, all schedulers stayed home and I wasn't interested in further inconveniencing my buddy Allan. Figured today was the only window I had to make it home and I did. Drive wasn't bad, especially after getting to Ellensburg...

Cross your fingers I can get hold of someone Monday, otherwise....!!!!

I did have some good sushi though.

Surgery Postponed :(

I'm frustrated to say that the surgery did not occur today due to the weather. Apparently when it snows in Seattle they shut down the city! The roads are pretty treacherous and I don't know when it'll be rescheduled, but I'm going to try to pin that down tomorrow.

Weather still looks bad and the roads in Seattle are treacherous, as I stated, so I'm taking my time getting back. Especially considering I hope to get rescheduled for ASAP; next week please!

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers! Just not in the cards for today...

I'm in Seattle

Made it to Seattle today, just fine.  Clear and cold for the whole drive.  Nothing eventful, but the 520 is not the best way to come into Seattle...

At Allan's new place, it's nice.

Heading to Seattle

Weather looks pretty grim for the next couple days and I'm keen to get to Seattle and avoid trouble driving, so I'm planning on heading over tonight. Should be cold!

Pre Surgery blood work

Today had some blood work and a urine sample. Uneventful, but my veins still are buggered since the chemo; they said that would happen, but dang, I used to have such good veins! Because of this I now have to endure more than one stick usually... last weekend for some fun before I'm laid up again.

Something for everyone

Randy Pausch Last Lecture

Surgery confirmed

Finally! I get to go back under the knife 12/18/08, then stay another night in the hospital for observation. Should be fun, I get to have anesthesia again!!! Actually I prefer if I they let me stay awake, so I'll ask them to do that; if not it's about the best sleep you've ever had!

All other questions as to course of treatment following surgery are very much "wait and see." As in wait and see what we cut out of you, then we'll determine what's next after that.

My blood counts and things were back to normal around Thanksgiving, so it was a perfect time for me to catch cold, which finally set fully on Tuesday, so I've been nursing that. It's only a head cold, but I think those are worse overall... Other than that I'm doing fine, resting, reading and hoping to get back to some sense of normalcy soon!

Still no news

Awaiting confirmation on a surgery date, but still nothing.

Had a good Thanksgiving, hope you did too!

I'll post something promptly the next time I have something, but for now there isn't much to update.
