Astounded!

Amazed and astounded! I just received a phone call from Dr. Pickett, the Thorasic Surgeon who may be performing dad's lobectomy. Did I mention is was 10:10 pm and the conversation lasted 32 minutes? Holy cow! Mother and I were on both extension phones and I referred to my "Spiral" to the page where we had been keeping questions for the surgeon. Dr. Pickett was very kind and jovial about the questioning session.

For those of you who have found yourself in my situation, can you tell me how does your head handle all the millions of facts, opinions, observations, comments and questions that constantly play in you head? I feel like a hamster on a wheel with the inability to just jump off.

Most of the time, getting more information just leads to more confusion.

It's like I'm "living the dream"! maybe nightmare is a better word!

Dear Mom,

With all the confusion of tons and tons of information and suggestions, it comes down to decision. Don't be afraid to take a minute and ask God for help. The right choice will be made.

I love you!-Em

And after you and yours make a decision do not look back later and regret the decision. You cannot see the future. We must all decide when we do not have all the information that the future will bring. Do the best you can with God's help.
