Left Mediastinotomy #2

I finally had the biopsy on my chest done today. I was a little nervous heading into it, as this was the same procedure from last March that stuck me in the hospital for four days. Last time, I had an adverse reaction to the anesthesia, which caused my lungs to fill with fluid. I certainly didn't want to repeat that process.

Well, the procedure went flawlessly, and by the evening I was feeling good enough to go home, though they wanted to keep me in the hospital overnight for observation. I didn't argue too hard, as I knew I was feeling fine, and would go home in the morning.

Melissa and I watched game three of the Red Wings/Predators series in my hospital room. The Wings dominated the game, but had a couple of untimely defensive lapses that cost them the game. I am not really worried about the Wings at this point - they should be able to finish off this series fairly quickly - but we will have to tighten up if we want to make a run at The Cup.

I saw the link to your blog in Journey of a Prizefighter, and I am so sorry to hear that your cancer has returned. My husband was just diagnosed at Christmas with Hodgkins too. We will be praying for you and awaiting your updates. It is always interesting to see what may be ahead for us. I hope it is a complete recovery for both! Lauren

Dana remains positive. All you who know him well will not be surprised to hear that his questions to the oncologists in Seattle were one, "Will I be able to play hockey in the fall?" and two, "Is there WiFi in the Cancer Alliance?" That's my boy!

So what was the response to the WiFi question?
