Thank you, Diane. Between myself and Bob, our calendar is pretty well filled up with dr appts. I have three MRIs of my spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) on Thursday. They want to make sure there are no other tumors hiding out. Then on Friday, I'll be getting a call from Pre-op at the hospital for last minute instructions, go over my meds list, etc. On Monday 6/12 a pre-op appt with my neurosurgeon probably, will do more labs, and that's all for that week. Then the next Monday an appt with my PC doctor. He recently started me on a few meds that he wants to monitor how they are working - a statin drug for high cholesterol, and a drug to combat osteoporosis. I've also recently been diagnosed with hypercalcemia. He didn't add a medication for that, but had me quit taking any extra calcium, which I had been taking for the osteoporosis. Seems I also have hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), that's probably why my hair has been thinning/falling out. That will be addressed later. As usual, I've just got too much going on at the same time! I'll try to be around more before my surgery date (June 22), just in case (kidding!) Tagging Jason jasoninsd just to let you know the time for serious prayer is fast approaching. Anyone else feel free to join in the prayerfest, I'll take all prayers that people will offer up for me. Jean, I just got up and wrote "Jean's Surgery" on the calendar on the 22nd! Know that you are in my prayers from now until you give me the "all's clear"...and then I might keep you in my prayers for OTHER reason!! Thank you jasoninsd !
