Tuesday, April 7th -
Just a quick note this time. Last night was rough with recurrence of several symptoms. I had another CT Scan late in the evening. Comparing the one last night with the one from the previous Tuesday night in Olympia, there's very little progress.
I have a restriction that has not opened up. Docs are now talking seriously about going in for surgery to fix the blockage. Maybe as early as Wednesday. The up side is that my recovery should be two or three days ... not the 10 or more with the original surgery.
I'm not sure what the risks are from another surgery of this type. The doctor who will most likely be performing it is very skilled and highly nationally/ internationally regarded, so I'll be in good hands. This is a different doc than the one who did the bladder removal surgery on March 12th, but still with VMMC.

Hi Jim,
I'm so sorry to hear about the impending surgery.
Might you be up for a visit from the rambunctious Sac-Pec clan in the next few days? Feel free to email and let me know what might work.

Hi Jim... I just finally found your online blog! I'm so sorry to hear about everything you've been through this past week. I've been getting all the updates from my mom and from Lauril and have been thinking about you a lot. I sure hope today's surgery clears things up and has you feeling better soon. Sending lots of good thoughts your way. -Sarah
