surgery date set for cancer #3

Much like Santa, I'm making a list and checking it twice:

Who: Me
What: The exorcism of the stupid malignant melanoma
When: Thursday, December 23 at 1:30 p.m.
Where: BigHMO
Why: Why? Because cancer's stupid.

What success looks like: We cut. We cure. We move on.

Thanks to everyone for your positive vibes and well wishes.

I'm serious when I say this whole thing is comical. Twice in one year, and three times since 1999? It's funny, funny stuff. I take pride in knowing that I'm such a good planner -- I'm bringing 2010 full circle by starting it and ending it with cancer.

At least this time I'm getting it out of the way before tax season starts (I work for a Big Tax Software Company), unlike last time when I got cancer in the middle of tax season. Which prompted Nurse Mom to quip, "You have April 16th to December 1st to get sick and pull this shit now?!" I heart her.

Dear Cancer Claus,
All I want for Christmas is Vicodin. Or Percocet. I'm not picky.
Thanks,
Kara

ps - And I want a pony to carry me up and down our two flights of stairs, since my malignant melanoma's on my foot this time so walking's going to suck monkey butt.
