Rain with a little ice mixed in this morning, especially icing in the counties just west and north of us. Could change to all ice for us later tonight. Accumulated snow is in our forecast for Sunday night, into Monday, and Monday night, unless things change. Yesterday, they changed our higher temp forecast. They have us, once again, back into the deep freeze of teen's and single digits.
Yesterday morning, Cary cranked our generators to make sure they are good to go. I'm doing all my laundry today to get that out of the way. Will go ahead a cook a few meals to last us for a few days tonight, and store in the freezer. Plenty of wood brought in for a few days, water pipes are wrapped and hoses disconnected, so we are good to go.
Good news from Cary's surgeon, yesterday. He couldn't schedule Cary's surgery, until sometime in March. We are waiting for the hospital to call to let us know when in March. Surgeon wants Cary to have a heart stress test, before the surgery, and Cary needs 7 days to get the blood thinners he takes out of his system, also, before surgery. Surgery will take 4 hours, but Cary will only stay in the hospital overnight up to 2 days if all goes according to plan. Surgery will remove 1/3 of his right kidney. He will be scanned every 3 months afterwards for the first year, and every 6 months for the next 5 years. At this stage of the cancer, surgeon is very hopeful that this surgery will remove any chance that it will return. He's not even going to need any type of cancer treatment.
