Crazy couple of days

1.8.26

Thursday night before I went to bed I could hear what sounded like water behind the wall. Sure enough the water heater in the garage had broke and there was water leaking into the house. 

Friday I had my iron infusion- I was nervous that it would make me feel off or sick but I didnt notice any difference. I am happy that we have a plan to boost my hemoglobin back up. Also, before I walked up to the infusion center I stopped to see if my PET scan report was ready and IT WAS!!!! It was such a relief to get the results back especially because I already happened to have a meeting with my liver surgeon scheduled for after my iron infusion. 

We were able to go over all of the findings and come up with a plan to remove the activity. She wants to go in robotically and cut the tip of segment 2 off and then check out the spots in segment 5. If I have too much scare tissue she will have to do it open and that will determine how long I have to stay in the hospital after surgery. But I am pumped there is a plan and am ready to do whatever it takes to get any activity out. She also said she wants to do the surgery within the next 3 weeks. 

On Monday I got a call that I would have my PATC testing on Tuesday and they were able to schedule my surgery for the following Wednesday. A friend of mine drove me up to City of Hope Duarte and they went over all of my prescriptions and how to prep for surgery. They also did an EKG. I passed the EKG so now it is time to start packing and getting things in order for me to be gone for surgery and recovery.
