OK...Here goes...

I am updating everyone, or just getting some new info to you about me.

I have been having some testing done since Oct for a "spot" on my lung. It was found when I was having trouble breathing and spent the day/night at the emergency room back then. So, anyway we waited and watched to do another scan or two to find out that it had grown a bit.

Now, after many tests and nothing conclusive, I will finally find out what is going on next Friday. Yep...it's been a roller coaster ride of not knowing and it will all be out then. So, Friday morning I have to be at B-North at 10:30am to prepare for surgery at 12:30pm.

The doctor will be doing a resection of my right lung and while I am just lying around, they will test it. If it is a tumor they will be doing a lobectomy/removing the upper part of my lung. Again, I will not know what they have done till I wake up...the first part is a hospital stay of 2-3 days with recovery 2-3 weeks. The second is a weeks stay and 6-8 week recovery....yuck!

I am not looking forward to not feeling well...and not looking forward to being off work for so long. I just might drive my family insane! (oh...I might have already...they are a bit crazy!!)

Anyway...here's what I need...PRAYERS! Prayers for my family, my doctors, my coworkers, all the people that are helping out while I am "recovering" and for me too. Don't feel bad if you didn't know before. I have been trying to not tell lots of people till I had some idea of what was going on...and I have never yet found out, so I have been slowly letting more people know!

I thank all of you that have been praying already. I know that God's timing is better than mine (yes Brian...I get it...just don't like it too much/sometimes!) and hopefully His plan is to get me well quickly! There's just toooo much to do this summer!

Thanks to everyone who is filling in for me at the office and those that are helping with the children! You are all a GREAT BLESSING to me!

Type to you later!

I'm so sorry. I'll be praying!
Let me know if I can be helpful.
You kill me though... you have such a great attitude. Your writing sounds like you are just going in for a cavity filling... maybe a root canal. I pray you keep your sense of humor and courage. Love, Robin
