FINALLY. I have a surgery date. [View all]

For those of you who may not remember the back story, here's a couple of links:

Apparently, scheduling a surgery takes longer than you might expect. But there are various things that need to happen before scheduling. For instance, the drug I'm on (Tagrisso) needs to be on board for 90 days. I just passed that date a few days ago. Also, an appropriate hospital needs to be on the list (it is.) and the doctor doing the surgery needs to have privileges there, which she does.

I don't yet have a time when the surgery will start. But the day is definitely fixed:

MONDAY, MARCH 16TH, 2026.

There are other small procedures to be done, but this is the important one.

Now, I need to ready myself, my psyche and my body, for this unprecedented surgery. I've never had a surgery like this before and it looks a little scary. All my joint replacements got to be routine. This is not.

As I did before, I will give each response a rec when I've read it.

My love and thanks to all of you!
