More tubes out today. Lots of visitors, good for my spirits. Fatigue gets me bad when I do my laps. Chicken soup for dinner was good. Hoping for a good night. Talked with Dr. Markowitz for a long time tonight. He is my life saving hero. He continues to reinforce (as if I had a choice now) my decision to have him do my surgery. He is so caring, meticulous, brilliant, and available. I can’t imagine any other surgeon doing as good a job. Onward and upward. Pain starting to set in, time for a break tonight. Kathy is so amazing. She’ll get me through the night.
