I have posted this here. My operation is getting closer, and I feel I can deal with it, but sometimes I get scared.
Next Sunday I do the prep for the operation on Monday. We will spend Sunday night at a motel close to the hospital. So, this my last normal week for awhile. Last night I had a scare, I woke up feeling I wasn’t breathing using the CPAP machine. It was very scary for me. I took the CPAP off…and was up, fiddling with it, afraid to go to sleep. Eventually, I realized I was breathing too fast into it. I did calm down and slept.
The procedure is called “Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy” and it can last up to 10+ hours. It’s trust to think the doctors can do it, and my 78 year old body can withstand it and recover. Many people are praying for me, and in turn, I am praying for all who are.
