Surgery time again

It hardly seems possible, but the time has come for my next surgery. Josh and I are leaving for Stanford tomorrow so I can get one final MRI done to provide an up-to-date image of the surgical field to my team of doctors.

Surgery to remove my pituitary tumor is scheduled for mid-morning on Thursday, June 25. I have two separate teams of surgeons who are collaborating on this surgery, and take much comfort in knowing I’ll be in excellent hands.

My sister Laurie is once again joining Josh and me at the hospital for moral support. Josh promises to post updates on the blog, so feel free to check back for the latest post-surgery news.

Thanks in advance to everyone for all of your prayers and positive thoughts. You’ve already helped me get through the most serious surgery of my life, and I know you’ll be there for me now as well.

My prayer tonight is one of thanksgiving, for getting this far through the journey. Though I never anticipated another pebble in my shoe, I am hopeful that its removal opens up a whole new chapter of good health. : )

With love, hope and gratitude,
Angela
