So much of this would be lost to me, which is why I cherish these memories of times past with all my heart!

I won’t be counting you out soon my friend. Strong like bull, right :-)

If I ever come into money I’m gonna buy your old domain – however much it takes, even if you don’t want it – just so I can erase the thought of its current use.

And I don’t think it’s so odd. When Adam was scared about seeing a doctor when we (correctly) thought he had appendicitis, I went online and described the procedure. He was so calm that when he got to the ER and the doctor braced for the bad news, Adam said, “yeah I know, it’s appendicitis…. are you going to put me under with something in my I.V. or are you going to use gas?”

The doctor checked his chart and asked, “Are you four?”

Very cool video.

I love your use of the word “humble” — that is how I always feel standing before the ocean. And peaceful. And, somehow, like everything will be okay.

I can’t look at a blood blister without getting squeamish. So, basically, you are like a superhero to me. Hopefully your superhero powers guarantee that the operation is a success and takes care of all the crap that you have been bravely dealing with.

With Lurch and Jaz snogging on you, you don’t need any snogging from me. But I’ll second Jaz’s suggestion that you blog about the experience, if not during the procedure, at least before and after. For the edification of those who follow.

I’m glad to hear you sounding so confident going into this. I think information is power, and I’m glad you have it.

(I do laugh at your drs willingness to share information. Once a doctor hears that I am a lawyer, they try to say AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. Good thing I like to ask leading questions.)

I agree with Laurel–how could you not feel better? The pressure will be gone and also? You will know the tumor is gone. I think that “knowing” will lead to a lot of wonderful things for you.

Too bad you can’t be awake and live-blog the procedure for us all. I’m sure your commentary would be priceless. ;)
