The only two Health-related updates are these:
- I had the CT/CAT scan and bone scan at the local hospital a week ago Monday (10/17). This is something I’ll be doing every six months for a few years, to check for any recurrences. Friend Kristi’s tip (using a straw to drink the horrible contrast) worked like a charm, though it was still nasty-tasting. When I didn’t get a phone call the next day from the oncologist about the results, I began to figure that the scans went well and showed nothing suspicious; I called on Thursday (10/20) for the official results: Looking Good!
- My final reconstructive surgery will be one week from today, November 2, in Jackson. I’ll be in the hospital overnight (they are also removing my port), but will be home by the weekend. If all goes well, this will be my last surgery for a good, long time.
