You don't ask too many questions--I just forget what I've already said and to
whom so my E-mails are a hodge podge of info.
I go into the hospital May 26th and have surgery the 27th. The doctor
explained that he will have to crack one rib (maybe two depending on my
anatomy). I understand that the broken rib is what makes the surgery so
painful. I remember you saying your surgeon used a procedure which didn't
involve breaking a rib. I thought about checking that out, but, I really like
my surgeon. I believe he will use good judgment when it comes to how much of
my lung to remove and that has been more of a concern to me than the procedure
itself.
No, I am not calm about the surgery. I am resigned though. And, I am anxious
to get it over with so I can start my path to recovery. Prayer has helped me
a lot. There is nothing I can do but to ask God for strength to get through
it. I also pray that He will guide my surgeon's hands.
God bless you. Sue
