Preparations Continue

Called the surgeon’s office today, as the cyst on my back has been bothering me.  I don’t want anything to make us have to postpone things next Friday.  It does not seem infected, but there are parts of it that are somewhat sore.  I have had an infection in the area before and have had to have that lanced; but this does not seem to feel or look as if it is infected.  The call did allay my fears about what to do. 

While on the phone, they had other things for me to know about.  (I had not checked my messages yet because I wanted to call the office before they closed at 4:00.)  One is to add another appointment to my schedule for Monday.  Now I have pre-op testing in the morning and a meeting with the surgeon in the afternoon.   Also, there is now a surgical vest that makes recovery and healing from surgery like mine easier and better.  There are fewer problems that arise.  Dr. Bang wants me to get measured for one.

It’s things like these that are making all of this more and more real to me.  I am beginning to catch a glimpse of what is ahead.
