"Andy... just try and relax... just TRY it...just a little bit "

Sherie: I had pretesting on Thursday and I’m scheduled for surgery @ 10am on 9.11. (Thursday) I will have a sentinel lymph node removal first -where they test to make sure it hasn’t spread – may not know for a week. Then will have lumpectomy @ 3pm. If surgery is on time and I come out of anesthesia well, I’ll be home that night. If I need more time, I’ll be home next morning. My mom will be home with the kids, Andy will be with me.

Andy: had follow up with Doctor on Thursday. The extra air around his lung is going down, but still there, no blood! They will do another chest

x-ray and follow up on 9.8. No chest tube was needed as it seems to be resolving on own. Remains in a sling and a lot of pain, but comfortable with meds. Hopes to be back to working a bit more on Tuesday, but clients keep cancelling his meetings on him so he can’t work! Following up with Dr. Pietropauli on 9.8 for his collar bone.

Thank you to everyone for all the meals and snacks thus far. All the calls, emails, and cards too. Andy asks that you send more serious cards as the funny ones make him laugh and that hurts.

If anyone has any questions on any of the SurvivorMan or Myth busters, let Andy know, he saw every episode while in the hospital!
