Hi, Zachary

I'm sorry about my name confusion. My name is Ann but my nickname is Sam. There was some mix up when I registered for Webcafe so, quite frankly I myself don't know what name to use. My husband is the one with the RC and being treated at Norris

Sam/Ann.

Am I the only one who is confused by which one is Ann and which one is Sam? ;)



One thing I'm sure of is that Norris is top-flight. That was a good decision on your part.

Thanks Pat. Your words are a great comfort. Telling him to stop lifting heavy things is much easier said then done. He is a tad stubborn but mostly loveable.

Ann...absolutely rest easy...if i'd known you were at USC/Norris i would have told you they are absolutely tops at what they do there...and the residents better know what they're doing...Skinner and Stein wouldn't have it any other way. So take a breath...tell him to quit lifting heavy stuff!!!!...........Pat

I forgot to mention his last CT was when he finished chemo in March. His next is scheduled for his July follow up. His doctor and staff are wonderful We will hear what he says on Tuesday.

Thanks to all for your responses. Since my husband is being treated at USC Norris, coverage is provided by the residents. The one he spoke to said it wasn't a problem to wait until next Tuesday. After I researched in my home medical book (don't laugh) I also thought it might be an incisional hernia. The RC was his first surgery. As we are getting ready to move he has done some heavy lifting. I think he wants to convinve himself he is the same as he always was. Sort of restraints there is no way I can hold him down. I am going to try practicing good mental health and put it out of mind until next Tuesday.

Thanks once again to you wonderful people! Where would I be without this spot?
