Diana and I are attempting to carry on with life as usual...cheering for our beloved WVU football team, rooting for our Democratic candidate Barack Obama, and otherwise remaining engaged with the day-to-day things that enrich our lives. To some extent, it's kept our problem at bay. But the proverbial gorilla is still in the room and cannot be ignored any longer. We have just a few days left now before the operation. To say we are anxious and concerned is an understatement. We are all very apprehensive but cautiously optimistic. We know that the procedure has been tried and tested. It's not exactly new, this MOAS surgery. In fact, Diana has a colleague at Smithsburg High School who has had this surgery five or six years ago and is back teaching. But the sheer magnitude of what Dr. Sardi and his team will be doing is daunting.
One thing we have learned through all this is that the compassion and love our friends and family have shown gives us strength to face each new day (I cannot say enough about the staff at Smithsburg High. They have been so supportive.) We love you all! We are confident that, with your continued support, we will get through this.
As far as how Diana is doing. At the moment, she is fighting off a cold. She is feeling better this morning. We hope that she will be healthy for Tuesday so that Dr. Sardi will not have to reschedule.
I will be in the hospital with Diana as much as I can next week. I don't know about access to a PC to update this blog. Between Carrie, Justin, and me, we will do our best to keep you informed and up-to-date via this site as frequently as we can. Please continue to keep Diana in your thoughts.
