Keeping you posted

I'm very sleepy now so if my spelling makes you have hot flashes or my grammer send you into panic attacks, I apologize in advance.  I go into surgery tomorrow morning at 9:30 am.  The surgeon and I have decided to only take a portion of my stomach out, as opposed to the whole entire stomach.  He'll take out the ulcers and the scar tissue also,  This way, if there's any chance for my stomach to heal, it still can.  He believes in being conservative with his approach and I appreciate that.  The downside of this approach is that I can start growing ulcers immediately, like I did this last time and he may have to eventually take out the whole stomach.  The bright side of this is that my size 5 jeans are becoming a realistic dream!  lol

Anyway, before the surgery, I'll be tested for pancriatic cancer.  Apparently pancreatic tumors are responsible for ulcers that won't heal either.  If they find tumors, surgery will be postponed until there is a new plan of attack.

Tomorrow, I'm going to need all those prayers that you've been so generous with.  I'm not so afraid.  I know what to expect even though this surgery is more complex than the last 2 were.  The recovery time doe make me a little nervous.  It hurts like a B!#$%!  I love you guys!
