Appointment before Surgery

Today I saw Dr. Brewer again. She examined me to feel and see exactly where the tumor is so she has a general idea of what to do. We talked about what will be done during surgery. She is is going to take out not only the tumor but whatever organ except the bowel that was left. She doesn't want to even go near the bowel. I will be in the hosp a possible day or 2. Shouldnt be more than that. She also told me and Dad the real reason of the delay of my last surgery. Seems the anesthesiologist was alittle reluctant to put me under because my potassium levels were a little off and other things. Well a day after some potassium in an IV (which hurts like you cannot believe. And I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy), and a switch to a pill version my potassium level sky rocketed. Wonders ever cease.

I will be going in and operated on July 3rd. I will be able to attend my second cousin's wedding, Yes! I do have to do some prep stuff at the hotel the day we leave for home. And then some when we get home. I also can eat solid foods until July 2nd so I will be able to eat at the reception. Which I was really wondering about, but my doctor said it was ok and to enjoy myself.
