This is a good, good day!

Feb 15, 2011

I am one happy camper today!  I just found out that the spot on my lung (which showed up in my chest x-ray last week for pre-ops) is just a bit of scar tissue.  Thank you Lord!  I've been trying not to obsess over it, but I was so afraid it might be a malignancy.  But it's NOT, PTL!  Dr. Garth said it wouldn't interfere with my surgery at all.  I just have to plan to have another CT scan at my 6 month post-op checkup.

Best of all, I was able to tell my sweet husband the news before he leaves Saudi in the morning.  After that he'll be flying/in transit for the next 24 hours and I won't have anyway to get in touch with him until he lands in Houston on Thursday.  So now we both can relax a little. 

And today is Day 7 of the dratted pre-op diet, but I'm doing well.  All I've had today so far is a protein bar and some tuna fish with a glass of skim milk.  I'm still avoiding those shakes whenever possible.  But I'm in ketosis and burning that fat.  So I'm okay. 

Life is good today.  God is good always.  And surgery is just 7 more days away.
