My First Blog
This is very new to me. Yeah, right...the guy who has worked with computers for the last 35 years. Well, as I've always said, mainframes and minis are not PCs. Enough about that.
The blog is really a way to keep all interested partiies aware of the latest medical news about me. This Friday (April 21), I will be operated on for cancer. In additional to removing the tumor, I will lose my gall bladder, a piece of my stomach, all things related to bile ducts, a piece of my pancreas, a piece of my small intestine (including my duodenum). I think that's all (that's more than enough).
The oncologist performing the surgery (Dr. Richard Bold) has been fantastic. Kaye and I both think he's top notch. He comes very highly recommended in the UCD system and we would agree.
The hospital stay will be 9-10 days followed by some period of time (4-6 weeks) home. Since I can actually work from home, I'm hoping to make that number even smaller.
All our friends, relatives, and workmates have been tremendous. It humbles one to think how many people are "out there" ready to support.
I want to initially thank my brother-in-law, Gary, for suggesting using a blog to keep everyone posted while beating away cancer (which he is in the process of).
