I’ve spent the day, the whole day, going through tests and pre-op preparations.
6:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m.
Long day!
Maybe the plan is to wear patients out so much that a day of surgery followed by multiple days in the hospital feels like a well-deserved rest. I hope so.
My thoughts on the eve of the surgery?
How fortunate am I that I have the opportunity to have surgery? How incredible is it that a surgeon has the capabilities to open my head and try to repair damage caused by an unwanted tumor? How wonderful is it I live in a country that takes care of its citizens through a system of Medicare and insurance? How fortunate is it that I can vote for leaders who put the needs of the people first?
I’m looking forward to sitting on the balcony, feeling the ocean breeze and smelling the ocean air. I’m looking forward to watching the waves roll in and feeling the sand between my toes. I’m looking forward to sharing many more years and experiences with my girls, their husbands and my wonderful grandchildren.
I thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers.
Let’s do this!
Good luck Marcia, I pray for your speedy recovery every night. I like your attitude. I know you can rid yourself of this little intruder and come out stronger than ever. You have a lot of people (me included) relying on you. Love you! Wanda
Thanks Wanda! I appreciate your support! Can’t wait to get home, go to lunch and do a little shopping with you! 🙂
My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are not alone!
Thank you so much Carolyn! This has been quite an experience!
You are in my thoughts Marsha. You have always been the Mountain. Not enough can or will be said about your commitment to your community, family, students. I feel lucky to have been able to work with you . DI is one big family. All of the rocks look up to the mountains. I hope and wish you godspeed and fair winds in your recovery.
Thank you so much for thinking of me! I am so blessed to be part of the DI community. It has helped to keep me sane over the last 16 months! I am looking forward to a fantastic season and attending Globals 2019 in Kansas City!
