Monday, July 6th, 2009 -- MRI. The doctor was looking for a bad disk in my lower spine. He found a healthy tumor instead!
July 7th -- Received cancer diagnosis from the doctor. I had figured this out on Monday afternoon when he canceled my appointment with the orthopedic doctor and scheduled me for a Tuesday morning visit. As I recall, I didn't lose a bit of sleep over this: either before or after the diagnosis.
July 8th -- CT Biopsy at the hospital. This is where they put me out, and poked a needle in my backside to extract tissue from the tumor. It took about an hour. As I recall, it was a fairly pleasant experience.
July 10, 11, 12 -- Did the server transition at work anyway. Just because I have cancer doesn't mean that real work can stop! I had great help. The transition was very successful, and I remember it fondly.
More memories next week! It's exciting to not be doing all of this in 2010.
