Tomorrow is the day I will officially join the rest of you in this battle. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 to check-in for my 7:30 surgery. I am going to have a panendoscopy (they might as well take a look around), a partial glossectomy (the surgeons estimate is to remove around 10% to 15% of my tongue, but his firm estimate is until he has clear margins), and a modified Neck Dissection. To my surprise I am not very anxious�.. I have tried to read, watch and learn everything I could about my condition in the 3 weeks I have been waiting on the surgery and I think that is really helping keep the nerves at bay. I am sure that in the morning I may not feel the same and the nerves may creep up on me, but I have a 2mg Xanax with their name on it� that should do the trick. The Dr. has also given me permission to take a nap through the whole thing�. I seems like forever since I have had a 5 hour nap�
