Oh hell, it's upon me

I had four hours yesterday at the CT scan and a short period with the surgeon as well and it looks like my heart can take it; so the likelihood is that I will be in Mount E this weekend with the operation perhaps on Saturday. I must admit that I had vaguely thought of it all happening in a week or two rather than quite so soon. But I guess the "non-emergency but urgent" classification means that I can wriggle as I like but the world has taken me over and made its own decision.

So, minor as this all may be in comparison to people suffering with really nasty problems, still I feel a shade twitchy and will definitely be happier once I am in Mount E and wholly in the hands of others. But if it does reduce my normal pains as well as cure the present big extrusion then the improvement will be such that I can even consider getting up to the farm (in Cebu province), something I have left to Alice in the past due to my considerable pain when bouncing over the somewhat battered Philippine country roads.

So I try to remain hopeful while still feeling a bit like Millie.
