Surgery Day tomorrow!

I can't believe how time has flown and yet seemed to have dragged at the same time.

After a great meeting with the Speech Pathologist yesterday, we have learnt about the tracheotomy and the feeding tube.

She has promised that she will try and get hubby talking "close" to the same he is now.  We all know that in life nothing is simple but as long as we can understand him, we'll all be happy.

Clear fluids only is the first up plan to get him back to "normal".  Eg. broth, apple juice, water, etc.  Hubby threw in the Coopers make a "pale ale" and was hopeful that could be on his clear fluids list!

He will be doing lots of exercises and Ann (the Speech Pathologist) will be with him all the way.

Well, we need to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 6:30.

We are both quite calm about it as reality is, there's nothing we can do but just go through with this process.

We are both very positive and with hubby being physically fit too, should see him recover well.

From the blog of another cancer surivor, I have now found comfort in the following:

God didn’t promise
days without pain,
laughter without
          sorrow,
sun without rain,
but He did promise
strength for
the day, comfort
for the tears,
and light for
           the Way.
