Tuesday Morning

Surgery has been scheduled for noon or so today - depending on when the surgeon finishes with his first patient of the morning.
Tim went for vascular testing this morning. I thought they said mascular - and knew that would be a bust. He doesn't have any muscles left after all the chemo. He left the room about 9 - and by 11 I was starting to worry. I wondered if they have taken him directly to surgery. I checked with some nurses and he was MIA. Eventually, he was brought back to the room. The vascular check didn't go well, they found a clot in the leg and something in the upper chest or arm or somewhere. The head of the vascular team wants surgery postponed 7 to 10 days or more.....up to 6 months. (That's not going to happen). The surgeon wants to proceed - but he's in surgery - so will have to wait until he's out and all is assessed and re-assessed. What a roller coaster! We surely don't want any clots moving around - and surely don't want to wait a week or more! GADS! He talked about a "filter" in the stomach area - I'm guessing that would catch any clots that might come loose.
At this point we are back to waiting........I'll update when anything is decided.
