Well speaking of dreams, I wanted to share 2 of mine. Please remember I am not responsible for said contents as these dreams were oxyconton pain relieved dreams, I can't actually believe I remembered any of them anyway.
#1 - My aunt, who passed away of cancer 3 years ago came to visit me with my cousin and his ds. They bought an albino rattlesnake with them and left it out in my playroom/den. I asked them to please get the snake out of my house etc. I think I stayed in the bedroom out of shear fear. That is all I remember. My one ds told me, mom I dont think they have albino rattlesnakes, hmm, I havent looked that up on the net yet.
#2 - Hold on gals, because Brittany Spears was driving me around. Yup, no other than Miss Brit herself. All I know was she was very nice to me and a good driver, Didnt have her kids with her and didnt know where we were going. I do think I had my seatbelt on though. I dont remember what if anything we talked about, but she was nice.
And now back to reality. Sat, and Sun. were um, rather forgetable since the 3 ds were being really bad, lets just say I was doing alot of crying, moaning etc. They are now on their best behaviors. I think the "if I end up in the box and my blood will be on your hands thing worked pretty good along with dh telling them the dr. said I must remain calm or I wil start to bleed again too worked.
Now for the medical update. Um, where to start. Up until this Thursday, surgeon #2 is coverning for surgeon #1, except tomm. where dr. #3 will be on. The rainbow that greeted you represents the red to yellow stuff, its still red, but DRUMROLL, My drain is less than 30, so really it could come out tomm. but I dont want dr. #3 doing it since his specialty is ears. So on thurs. we will go to the hospital and surgeon #2 will take it out, he is so new he doesnt have an office, or I should say they arent sharing theirs with him at present. followed by a lovely visit with the radiation oncologist.
Yest. I also went to the endocronologist.She said my blood work is good, and she saw all the obvious pain I was in. Yeah, I told her its like a constant 8. She then went over the biopsy stuff with us. The NP did it with me over the phone but she really went into detail with us. They took out 47 lymph nodes, gheesh, why wonder my neck HURTS!!. They found cancer in 6 of them which she said is a really good count. The agressive means it went to the lymph nodes and the rare is still something they cant explain, oh yes, leave the constant rare stuff to me as usual. It appears something like part of the tumor broke off, went to the lymph node or made another tumor of cancer in and amongst itself?? No one is quite sure about this. etc. etc. They say its highly unusual etc. Well we will see what insight the rad onc. has on thurs.
DS 17 is off for the week so I will have someone around.
The surgeon said I need to get out more, so we went to the outback for a little late celebration of dh b day. I covered everything up with a turtleneck and sweater (Hmm- Visions of Alice now Dance in My Head
). I didnt want to scare anyone while they were eating. It was too much of a long day. At the end of the meal I was practically crying in pain. We hightailed it home and dh got me the oxy. Didnt sleep well, so I am exhaused, hmm, maybe I will share my next bizarre dreams with you tomm. !! Stay tuned!!
Have a great day everyone!!

My heart aches for the pain you must be feeling. I don't know anything about bladder cancer, but there are so many different treatment options I'm sure they can find something to suit your dad and spare his heart. I also had a lump in my scar. I had to do a core needle biopsy to find out it was B9 scar tissue. 
You both are in my prayers.
I like your surgeon's rx!
I see him for the consult on 3/2. I'm trying to give myself pep talks about what a good thing this is while feeling sick to my stomach about it...
and 
ANd congrats on the trip!!
