We also got some important news yesterday. takaza‘s surgery has been scheduled for Friday, December 19. There are two possible outcomes: the good one has him in the hospital overnight then recovering for a week or two before going back to work. The not-so-good one has him in the hospital for four to five days and recovery will take more like four to six weeks. It’s impossible to know which outcome we’ll be seeing until after the surgery starts, so I’m preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. We appreciate all of the good thoughts and prayers from all of our friends, and we’ll be sure to keep everyone updated as things progress.
As an aside, I’d note that unfortunately we may not be able to host our annual Orphan’s Christmas dinner – we’ll have to figure out on the fly if Dan will be up for it. Likewise the New Year’s Eve Party, though I’m a bit more optimistic about that. Again, we’ll keep folks updated once we know what’s going on after the surgery.
And now, off to make myself useful!
*HUGS* I will keep you and in my prayers.
I’ve already posted to Takaza’s entry; I will be thinking of you too.
Be good to yourself while you wait during the surgery. When my dad had his prostate surgery, I gave the folks at the hospital my cell phone number, and got my mother out of the drab, dreary waiting room with the soap-opera TV. We went across the street and had a nice breakfast, which distracted my mom from thinking too much.
If it weren’t for the distance, I’d wait with ya. You know, I’m always a phone call away if you want.
