Everything went fine yesterday. I'm told that surgery actually began at 8:00 a.m., and was over at 2:30 p.m.. Got me back to a room at around 8:00 p.m.. I was up walking at midnight. I've walked a couple of times today. Doing breathing treatments. Sitting around bored.
I'm also told they cut out 75% of my liver, with the bile duct being formed out of the small intestine, since my large intestine disappearred 5 1/2 years ago.
According to Kim, the surgeon described the surgery as "perfect". That's funny, a doctor with an ego. Whoda thunkit? As long as he is right, I'm all for him.
Interesting tidbit. We drove down her on Thursday. The Cardinals haven't won a game since we pulled out of Neosho.

Awesome - so glad to hear good news!!!
ReplyDeleteJim sent me a link to your blog. I'm glad you are doing well. We are thinking of you here. What you are going through has caused Brett and I both to think about things differently and to do things differently (especially with regard to this godforsaken profession we have gotten ourselves into). Your attitude and strength are also an inspiration. Keep posting to let us know how you are. Can we send you anything?
ReplyDeleteAndy,
ReplyDeleteBe careful. You are running out of intestines. Not the stuff they process, but you are running out of intestines.
Tell me where to send the Maker's Mark.
