upcoming surgery

It's just three weeks before surgery and I'm getting very excited about the fact that I will be having the affected area of my colon removed.  I feel good & bad from time to time as I am still dealing with some GI issues.  I usually don't feel good when I wake up in the AM and also am bothered immediately following most meals.

I will be in Houston on March 18th so I can be at MD on the 19th at 8am for testing.  There is a chance that my Dr.'s could say that I'm not ready for surgery after they review the results from the tests on the 18th.

Many of my family members will be coming to see me at one time or another.  I have been told that I could be in the hospital for 7-10 days, with the first 1-2 days in ICU.

I plan to update the BLOG while in Houston so anyone can check to see how I'm doing.

Thanks again for all of your support, prayers, and phone calls.
