OK, So I went to the hospital, "UNC" for my pre op Thursday. I was instructed on what all they plan to do and how. They are going to take it all. So here I am wondering whether or not I'll have to take hormone meds or not. Hey I'm already ugly enough without beginning to look manly. They're going to cut me open in the same place that the doctor did when my bowel resection was done. Oh, the memories of that. Willard having to pack gauze in an open wound. For weeks and weeks. I didn't think I'd ever heal then.Willard said at first it was big enough to put his hand in. I am certainly not looking forward to it.
The doctor said they would possibly put some kind of thing, called a vacuum bandage or something. It hooks to a machine that keeps the fluids out. He said it most likely would heal in approximately two weeks with that. That sounds better that five or six weeks.
The doctor, Dr. Hannah, said something about me being on some kind of thing, where I could give myself pain medicines. I told him I didn't know whether that would be a good idea or not. Cause when I'm in the hospital, I like to sleep. I'd probably keep pumping it until I dosed off. He quickly told me that wouldn't happen, they only will let you pump so much. lol, So I guess I'll be awake.
Well anyway, to be more serious, I just am hoping that the cancer is contained, and they can get it all. But no matter what, I know the Lord is right here for me. That's the best feeling in the world. And Willard will take good care of me too, he always has.
Until next time I decide to run my mouth, God bless.

Aunt Joan, I will be praying for you and so will my husband Will. The vac thing you are talking about it called a wound vac and they are quite extraordinary! I have seen them in place in the past in the nursing home and they speed up the healing time by half at least! If you need anything just let me know!
