1st day back

Thank goodness it's over! Everything went well. The students were very sweet and I was glad to see them. Carole, Renee and all of my student assistants did a great job while I was gone. I really appreciate their efforts. My office was in order and everything that needed to get done DID get done. A girl couldn't ask for much more than that. I returned to lovely cards, two gorgeous origami roses folded by student assistant Paul Jang and an amazing Edible Arrangment that I understand was the brainchild of student assistant Sean O'Hair. I have an appointment to see Dr. Mehta Friday morning to talk about getting a full blown, second opinion. I'm hoping either he,or Dr. Kubba will arrange for all of my records, slides and tissue samples be assembled for a tumor board to evaluate. I'm nervous about the upcoming surgery to implant a port in my chesT. I understand infection isn't as likely with this sort of port but what if I develop a blood clot or it just stops working. I need to learn how to maintain it. Ick!
