Went in and met with the liver surgeon at 10:30 we went over my scan from Tuesday, everything looked great and it looked like the chemo was working. My bad cells might be dying and the nodule near a couple major veins in my liver were gone.
After this I got some paperwork for more blood work for blood type in case there are some problems or a transfusion is needed. I also had to get insurance covered (of course if you can't pay they won't do it).
I then went to my stoma therapy class where I sat down and talked to a lady about my shit bag. She showed it to me and how it works and connects. We talked about foods you need to thicken your stool and what foods make it smell bad or smell better. It is all kind of a nightmare but better then dying. Gas will fill it up which kind of makes me laugh. I will have it until 4 weeks after chemo. I will start chemo again in 4 weeks then 6 weeks of chemo then 4 weeks then they will re attach my colon to my anus. Awesome. Awesome Awesome.
Then I got the blood drawn gave them my insurance and met with the ass surgeon. He explained it to me and we talked about stuff I already knew. I had the same consultation in Boise before they decided it couldn't be done. Anyway got surgery scheduled for August 16th not sure what time but wish me luck. should be around a 4 hour procedure, won't be able to get out of hospital for 2 - 5 days. (I will be out as soon as possible no matter what). Then need 4 - 8 weeks of rest.
Mall of America tomorrow won't that be great. Sounds exciting. Going to stay in Minneapolis for the next couple nights my dad is going back to Boise on Sunday. then I am coming back to Rochester on Monday and surgery on Tuesday. then hopefully home in Boise by Friday or Saturday. At least I will get on the plane first because of my wheel chair.
