Today arrived early enough as I slept fitfully last night. We headed to Anderson at 8:15 and arrived at 8:40 where I checked in. There were more forms to fill out. At 9:15 I was taken to a cubicle where I put on one of those very attractive gowns with rear exposure. Why, I don't know as they were going to work on my neck and throat. All part of the ambience, I guess. They started an I.V. and decided to give me my antibiotic that way. So, I guess it was not necessary to call Jim Willerson to get a prescription for Keflex as they were going to use their own antibiotic. It won't go to waste as I can use it when I see my dentist.
I had many visitors, the OR nurse, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Weber's P.A. and a couple of others. At 11:15 I was wheeled into the operating room and given the really good drugs. They worked very well as I remembered nothing. I don't remember getting dressed, going to the car and going home. Good drugs!!!
According to Sally, Dr. Weber said that he felt the primary site was at the base of the tongue and that the method for dealing with it is radiation. He said there is a good chance to be cured and he felt I would do well. (From his lips to God's ear) We will know for sure when we meet with him on Tuesday September 1st.
I think I shall now take to my bed as I have the mother of all sore throats. I will post again on Tuesday when he will have all the reports.
