Gone

The tumor is gone! 
   Tuesday a tiny stainless steel marker was placed in the tumor at the hospital.  With this and several ultra sound and MRI views helped the surgeon zoom in on the mass.
   Wednesday morning we were at the hospital by 10:45 for scheduled surgery time of 1pm.  By 12:15 Randa was ready for action.  If you have ever had a procedure, you know the drill.  Poked, quizzed, undressed, wearing a very sexy paper little purple gown.
    An item that was new to us was the "hover board".  It is a pad that is put on the bed under the patient.  It has side handles.  When the patient is lifted from bed to bed, it is
inflated so that it is easier and  the safer forthe patient and the nurses .   A great tool.
      Randa went into surgery at 1:30 and was in recovery by 2:30.  The doctor told me in the waiting room that the tumor was easy to find and easy to remove.  She was happy and so was I !!
It was an extremely good day.
   Follow up next Wednesday.
