Status quo here for now. CMM had a pre-op appointment yesterday for the mediastinal lymph node biopsy which will be next Monday. Unfortunately, between now and then he has to go off of almost all of the supplements I have him on (because they almost all can thin your blood and therefore need to be avoided before surgery). I'll have to up the medical marijuana in the meantime.

He's nervous about it (even though this surgery is not dangerous like the pneumonectomy). I've taken the day off because he wants me there to hold his hand before and after. Thankfully I have this house full of family who will be able to help care for him post-op while I'm at work. (There are advantages to multi-generational living).

I helped CMM write an update to his daughters which he will send today.

Meanwhile I've been having a lower back muscle spasm for the last 3 days. This almost never happens to me - first time ever was while I was going through my divorce so I suspect stress is the culprit. (Go figure!) Thank goodness for Thermacare back pads. CMM has been really sweet about taking care of me during this - it's so nice because my ex-husband was terrible at taking care of you if you were sick.
