Just so that everyone doesn’t think I’ve bitten the dust …
Surgery went fairly well. First couple of days post-op were a blur. Developed a post op ileus which resolved by Day 4.
At home now and trying to get my body to heal. Had a little setback when part of the surgical wound popped open and began draining clear fluid. Guess I’ll have to hold off on doing those upside-down crunches for a while.
Jotted down a few notes while in the hospital and will try to put them to a post in a few days.
Thanks to everyone for their e-mails and text messages. All the positive energy gets directed right to the surgical site. And as an added benefit, they make me smile.
Will try to get back to regular posting soon.
