For Valentine's Day I have increased my gifts to Lou. I was going to take her to a doctor's appointment, but today we met with Dr. Siadati and now I am taking her to 3 appointments Wednesday, 2/14. We start with her scheduled checkup by the oncologist, Dr. Hancock in the morning. After a nice luncheon Lou will have a CT scan and later she will go to Harris Hospital for pre-op testing to prepare her for surgery Friday afternoon 2/16. She will have the kyphoplasty procedure to stabilize her vertebra. She will spend one night in the hospital for observation and to let the plastic injection solidify.

She is still in pain and has to go to non-blood thinning pain medicine until the operation. She is taking Norco and Tylenol in place of Bufferin that she prefers. It is painful for her to move. She cancelled out on the book signing at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame tomorrow but plans to go with me to the 25th Anniversary Kiwanis dinner in CP.
