Friday January 19, 2007: The First Hint

Dr. Surdaley called at about 5:00 PM and told us that Dr. Fletter wanted to meet with us Monday morning. He indicated the CT scan showed an “irregularity” and he wanted to check it out. Hmmm. We had no idea what this meant. I remember texting Denny Sunday night that I wouldn’t be at work in the morning because we were meeting with the doctor to discuss exploratory surgery. I remember him texting back “was this expected or something new?” I remember texting back “something new, not quite sure what’s going on”. We still didn't give it much thought.
