Not only do we have a winner, we have someone who guessed the exact number of staples! and the number is 105 of these incredible metal pieces that held me together for 4 weeks.
For those of you just reading our blog for the first time and are wondering why we are showing staples it's because I had major surgery to remove a Chondrasarcoma tumor and 5 of my ribs about a month ago. These little staples kept my incision healing properly. When my surgeon plucked out all 105 of these a week ago I asked if I could keep them to do something creative with which eventually I will do, but the first order of business was to have people guess how many were in me. The winner's name is Bob from New York. Bob will receive a glass teapot and one dozen blooming teas courtesy of Full Bloom Tea.
To update those following along, Tuesday next week I will have my first consultation with an oncologist to determine next steps in treating my cancer. While the surgeon feels he got most of it out, most likely I will undergo some radiation as a preventive measure. My thanks to all that participated in this little staple guessing game, and to all of you that sent your warm wishes during my recovery.
well darn it all anyway! i guess i was close though. what did i say? 107?
glad you are feeling better. how did today's appointment go?
