tired is my middle name

Well looking back at the last few weeks made me feel, well exhausted. I truly feel that my name should be tired. I know, I know everyone is busy and tired. It doesn't help that we had daylight savings time. I love having sunlight at 7 o'clock at night, but the change kicked my butt. Oh, sorry and pardon my french. I should say kicked my backside.

Today Andy had his surgery. Hurray!!! We were there at 12:45 for pre-op and around 1:45 he went into surgery. He did really well. It only took 3 hours for surgery and another 3 hours in recovery. That went better than we all (doctors included) thought it would. He had no complications. What a good baby.
I have to share a little insight that came to me today while in the waiting room. This lovely lady asked me if the doctors told me a time to expect the surgery to take. I said,  "yeah around 3 hours." She said that I looked a little too comfy sitting in the chair and asked if I had waited for my husband before with something like this. I said not only have I waited for my husband through other surgery's, I have gotten to where I rate the hospitals on their waiting rooms. It goes a little like this:

 rated on a scale of 1-5    5 being- best           1 being- needed to be shut down

Huntsman Cancer & Research        4 star
LDS Hospital (old)                          1 star
LDS Hospital (new)                         3 star
McKay Dee Hospital                       3 star
Nevada Cancer Institute                   2 star
Logan Regional                               3 star
Tremonton Hospital                         3 star
Primary Children's Hospital              4 star
University of Utah Hospital             2.5 to 3 star (depending on which area)
Brigham City Hospital                     2.5 star

Okay. I see a problem don't you and this is where the insight came into play.

I really have been in way TOO many hospital waiting/ recovery/overnight/ Dr. office  rooms. I am hoping that after this Andy is able to get into a healthy physical shape and it helps to ward off illness and continued hospital/ specialist visits.
Oh, by the way. Andy did his three month scans at UofU and met with our favorite specialist, Dr. Grossman. The update goes as this:
The tumor in the lower lobe in the right lung has not changed since the last scans in December. Although the SUV levels are increased it does not show a dramatic change. That means that Andy has no new tumors and the one itsy one has not changed enough to alarm the docs. So, he doesn't have scans for FOUR months. That is one month longer than normal. That is a good thing. It all comes down to Andy's cancer is fairly stable and the doctors are happy with that and so are we.
