got some maps and promise of snacks

We have been shown the main highway out of cancerstan.  Surgery really is scheduled for May 24, subject to all going well on this Thursday morning's pre-op meeting at surgeon's office. 

Earlier today, we met with "the bag lady", Beth.  Her professional designation is "ostemy nurse" but she really she deals  in bags for the trip that I must take.   She advises on all aspects of bags and suggests adjustments for each traveler.  She also advises on care and treatment of the attachment so diaper rash is minimized and is also available for helping each bag user how to best take care of it.    Yes, the bag looks like a good alternative for this trip.  (it'll be interesting to see how the surgeon reacts as he prefers sewing in a internal "neobladder".)

At mid day we met another map vendor, Kenneth Weizer, ND.  We meet with him again Monday to find if  his snacks will make our journey more comfortable.

  2. Good. Having a date set feels right to me. I'm glad you got enough information to schedule the surgery. I'll be there with you, in spirit and with love.
