Thanks folks. I told my Pre-AP chem students today about the cancer and that I will be out for a while after surgery. They were so sweet about it. I had to leave class early yesterday to have my CT scan. They want to see my scan! I got a copy of the CD of the CT for myself after reading some lists here. I want to have copies of all my test results IN HAND to give the various med professionals that need copies. Sounds like it may help avoid delays in treatment.

I am trying my best to make 6 weeks of lesson plans for all my classes for subs and line up meals for my family for the week or so I am in the hospital. Hubby will be driving back and forth 90 minutes each way to visit me and get our kids to and from school. Wow...there is alot to plan.
