We’ve got lots of eves this week – tonight is Scans Eve! We will be up bright and early tomorrow to get to the hospital for quite a few tests. We kick off with the CT, then right into the MRI, and then blood work. Then we should in theory have a little break to go home and then we will come back in the afternoon for a pulmonary test. I say “in theory” because usually this stuff moves at a snail’s pace and is lots of waiting and moving around to different waiting rooms. So we are planning for a long day and setting the bar low in assuming it will take up most of the day…and will be delighted if it doesn’t.
Tomorrow is a bit of a tease because we will not get any results, but step one is getting the tests done and that’s what will give us all the answers we need on Tuesday. Which brings me to Monday night – Results Eve! I will be shocked if I sleep much tomorrow but we’ve got appointments with both our surgeon and oncologist all Tuesday morning. Thank goodness I managed to finagle all the morning appointments, otherwise that would have been a long morning waiting to go find out the results. Tom is feeling alright, still not quite where he would like to be but he's starting to get more color and be more active which is great. As you can imagine, he's equally ready to get these tests done and get the results.
Wednesday night is Going Home Eve - another night that I anticipate little sleep! Tom and I rotate holidays so it is our year to do Christmas with my family in Wisconsin. When Tom was first diagnosed we didn't even know if we would be able to be in Wisconsin, if he would be in chemo or how he would be feeling so I didn't get my hopes up too high. However, since he is feeling better we will be heading home for a very brief trip, but a trip none the less. I haven't been home since early September and with everything I've been dealing with that has been an especially tough part of this all so I'm super super super super super excited.
Then of course Thursday is Christmas Eve! It will certainly be a low key Christmas but I'm looking forward to Christmas and all the traditions that come with it. So lots more to come this week...stay tuned :)
