More Drama about the surgery
Today I got more results from the GI scope. Apparently I have a tumor (carcinoid) in my duodenum. THis has to be removed and my regular doctor wants it done before my knee surgery. HOWEVER, I have read up on this and it doens't seem life threatening from what I have read. I meet with the surgeon tomorrow at 11 and I will know more. I am hoping he will let me have my knee surgery as usual on Tuesday and then have the tumor removed a few weeks later. I have a CT scan on Friday as well. TOmorrow I will know what to expect as far as recovery and what he thinks about the knee surgery situation. I really don't see what one has to do with the other, but you never know. I will update again when I have more info.

Kyle's tournament game, Remodel update, Last week before surgery
This past Saturday was Kyle's basketball tournament game. They didn't win, but they all played well. He got a trophy and he was pretty proud of that.
The remodel on the daycare didn't get any work on it this weekend. I think we were both so overworked, we just enjoyed being lazy. Of course being lazy included working in the yard, doing laundry and lceaning the house, but we weren't at the daycare at all, so that was a nice break.
Next week is the last week before my surgery. I have a ton of stuff to get done before then. I HAVE to have the toddler room set up and ready (furniture is arriving mid-week), have all my paperwork in order, everything turned in, anything I will need for a few weeks bought, etc. I am assuming I will not be mobile for at least three weeks (as in mobile on my own) but with the possibility of 8 -10 weeks.
Friday I will have a surgery date and hopefully a hospital release date. Phillip will be home with me until the end of March.
