Thanks for the comments and you prayers!
Hope you are feeling better by now.
I just got settled in my hotel room in HOUSTON!
My flight got redirected to Austin first due to Dennis Storms here in Houston...
My appt is at 7:00 AM tomorrow!
I can't wait to meet the team at the world- reknowned(sp?) MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER --
I'll be posting here right after tomorrow and let you all know what I think...
I hope to meet an Oncologist and Radiation Oncologists tomorrow and maybe a Dental Oncologist and Opthomologist.
I meet be here a couple to a few days...
It's a little bit lonely and I'm kinked up from being stuck on a plane for 5.5 hours.
But, I am feeling better everyday from the surgery. Still the 'disturbing tingly feeling in my shoulder, neck and chin...I've decided that "feeling" is my body EATING CANCER CELLS UP :-) That makes it all easier to tolerate.
Also, I am able to eat more today :-)
I am practicing opening my mouth more and more (Hmmm, can I fit this huge chocolate croissant inside) - Just kidding, I am eating ALKALINE items as much as possible, but glad I can CHUG water like I could 2 weeks ago. (pre surgery)
Anyway, hope everyone is great!! Talk to you all tomorrow...
