Lucky
Stefan is feeling pretty lucky - lucky that he got in for surgery Tuesday as opposed to waiting until April (probably due to a cancellation somewhere). Lucky he got in for an MRI Friday when he was 401st on the list - again - right place at the right time. (He had to get both a cat scan and MRI done Friday in preparation for the surgery). And of course lucky for the MRI on December 17th that led us to this fight.
Stefan's horoscope on Thursday when we met Dr. T:
"You might encounter someone powerful today who is determined to improve you or improve what you're doing."
Scared
We are all a bit scared. On December 17th - everything moved so quickly it was a blur. Having had a few days to prep ourselves for surgery - it's been such a roller coaster of emotions. We went to church today. While Stefan and I had somewhat religious upbringings, and we are both spiritual - the only other time we had been was to meet our minister that married us. It was a good (for me emotional) experience - and we plan to go again soon.
Thankful
And of course, we're thankful. Thankful for the Canadian medical system, proving it works when you need it too. The processes we have been through since December 17th really have been quick. The doctors, nurses and staff have been fantastic. We have a great family and group of friends behind us.
I will probably not update again until after surgery. We do not expect Stefan to be as 'peppy' as he was after the first surgery due to the extent of this surgery. I'm asking for no visitors for the first couple days (just family and a few close friends). Please send us lots of positive thoughts!
