Mark, the girls, and I spent the past 3 days in Chicago for a great family outing. We stayed at Homewood Suites (highly recommend it!), went to the top of the John Hancock Building, rode the L, and spent a lot of time in the American Girl Doll Store. By God's grace, I had more energy than usual and we had a wonderful time. It was the perfect distraction.
In about 12 hours, we'll head to St. V's. I'm ready but am definitely not looking forward to the days following surgery. One word of caution is that I've been told that my language abilities may not be sharp for a few weeks because the docs will be messing with the left lobe of the brain which is responsible for language. Therefore, my blog may be brief or non-existent (with the exception of a quick update) for a while.
Thank you for your prayers. They're already working because there's no reason why I should have been able to tolerate hundreds of little girls squealing at the sight of American Girl Dolls. lol. I'm blessed to have the family and friends who love me so deeply.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we look forward to hearing any news we can get! Hugs from M&S.
I am praying for you and your family tonight. You are a warrior, and I know you will knock this out!
Good luck!

I've been thinking a lot about your new nickname. Right now I'm leaning toward "Plates", as in small titanium plates in your head. I also like "Sonic", which refers to the supersonic hearing you've been dealing with, and also has the old-school video game reference (the Hedgehog...ask Mark).
Let me know if I'm on the right track or need to keep working.
You're going to come through this great.
See you soon,
Joey
