Tomorrow is the big day...Surgery starts at 12:10...I hope the surgeon has a good breakfast or brunch...:)
Today was a rough day for Mom. Of course she is scared, and worried about Dad while she will be recovering, and wanting to have everything in order, and the surgery itself. She was just frazzled today. I did get her to calm down a few times though. After Dad's appointment with the radiation oncologist, she and I walked over to the dentist's office...Always a smiling face and a hug to be found there. That did her good. Then we went to lunch and she relaxed a little there. She managed to wind herself up between lunch and when I got her to go down and see Dad at 5:30, but she calmed down over dinner and then we went over to see my Aunt and Uncle's new Chocolate Lab puppy...It is amazing how a puppy can just make everything seem just a little bit better...:) And Buddy is no exception. He is 12 weeks old today and cute as can be...Big, but cute! And has the best temperament. Anyway, we probably stayed a little too late visiting Buddy, well chatting, as Buddy fell asleep and was having little puppy running dreams on the floor, but I was trying to keep Mom from having too much time to think about tomorrow.
Dad went to see the radiation oncologist today, and he seems to think everything is going pretty well. He agrees with the chemo oncologist that we should wean him off of the steroid, and he thinks that may be contributing to Dad's skin issues. One can only hope...
Anyway, I am gonna hit the hay and hope for the best tomorrow...Thanks to all for your good thoughts and great prayers (thanks Lori), and I will post an update tomorrow.
Goodnight.
