Frankenstein Lives!!

Hey Everyone!  I'm sorry to take so long to bring you news.  I've had a crazy weekend.  I don't know how it happens but everything gets scheduled for the same weekend!  Surgery, Homecoming, BYU game, Air Show in Wendover (we were given VIP tickets). So we compromised, Floyd went to the game, Ben went to Homecoming, we passed on the Wendover Show & I went to surgery. It went perfectly.  The people at the Huntsman Center were wonderful.  I was planning to get some rest while I was there, but the nurses had other ideas.  They came in every couple of hours to take my vitals and some blood.  I do appreciate them taking good care of me though.  I now have an omyya resevoire in my head along with a 4-5 inch incision with staples.  Thus the Frankenstein title, they wanted me to leave it open to the air for the weekend, so that's why I missed you at church, didn't want to scare anybody.  I am sad that I missed the Primary Program, that is my favorite meeting of the year.

I'll find out this week what the next step is when I visit with my oncologist.  My guess would be to start chemo soon, 1 round (once a week for three weeks) to the head and then 1 round to the body until it works.  I'm feeling good, just resting at home.  Thank you to all of you for your thoughts & prayers on my behalf.  I feel your strength and it helps me stay positive. My family thanks you for the delicious meals and treats you've all thoughtfully brought to us.  I am counting my many blessings.  Cindy
