Yesterday, Thursday, Ken and I did some errands (groceries, going to our storage shed, etc) and then by 1:00 we were on our way to the surgical center for my bladder biopsy. Unfortunately the Dr. was running behind schedule, so even though I had a 2:30 surgery time, I only went into the OR at 4:15. The procedure went well and the Dr. said there were "no surprises"! We were back home by 6:15. I had no pain and felt as if nothing had been done - hallelujah! Didn't even feel very tired!
Today we were up by 7:30 and decided to go out for breakfast. Yesterday was a long day without food, so I was ready for some good food. Again we did some errands and then home for lunch. We were at Ken's cardiologist by 3:30 - what a busy place! Can't imagine how many folks have heart issues! It was not a surprise - he said Ken really needs to have a heart cauterization. So we scheduled it before we left for next Wednesday. He needs to be at the hospital by 9:30, but they tell you to plan to spend the day. Procedures often are more involved than planned. Dr. Casala said that it could be a false/positive reading on the stress test, a small blockage that could be corrected with medication, or he may need a stent or so. Any of those 3 scenarios could still have us on the road for Florida by the weekend - amazing! So, we are hopefully that all will go well and that the problem can be easily corrected.
We were supposed to pick-up Cali and Bria for the weekend, but since our appointment took a lot longer than planned ( we only left there at 6), Dane's parents offered to keep them until Saturday morning so we could have a relaxing evening. We decided that would probably be the best. So we had a quiet evening and I was in bed rather early. The stress of the week had caught up!
We hope everything goes well and you can hit the road soon.
