My first post since surgery. First of all, I feel grateful nothing went wrong. The doctors tell me they spent about 6 hours digging out all the bad stuff. Their feeling is that the surgery was a great success.
Now to deal with pain and fatigue. When I went into the hospital on May 25, I felt about as healthy as I have been. But 10 hours later not so much. They cut me about 6” straight up from belly button and about 10“ from the belly button to the right. I will get the staples out (about 80) on June 10.
Big thanks to Julie, Diane DeCamillo, my sister Beth and my niece Erin for handing all the hospital duties over my 6-day stay. Thanks again for all well wishes!
