Today I did something that I have not done in a long time, well actually never in November. I drove my scooter to work. And boy was it cold in the a.m. It was about 37 degrees. Froze my butt off (well perhaps my chin and legs). At least the ride home was warmer. I couldn't resist after my boss told me that he was going to ride his new bike to work today. It became a challenge to me. Am glad I did it.

Heard from the surgeon and hospital today. Barry has to be at the hospital Monday at 8 a.m. and the surgery is scheduled for 11 a.m. Before the surgery he will need a EKG. Yesterday when he went to his primary doctor with the prescription for a EKG, their opinion was it was not needed due to having one after the stress test. But we did learn that there is a slight difference in these EKGs, whereas they need one which shows the graphs.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I am going into this knowing that Barry's been so strong these past 18 months with his chemo treatments, and that he will recover quickly. It's just something we need to do to answer the question, is there cancer in the lungs? The biopsy results will take about 5 days according to the surgeon.
