Next blood test: Four months. Continue with PT and the … other … doctor. #PostSurgery

Right. Time to peel off these compression socks and clamber gingerly into a shallow bath. I've unlocked the door so my kid with the car can come rescue me if need be. I'm expecting my legs to end in a triangle like Pigeon Street people.

#Ouch

5dpo. Pretty mobile, and the pain is an annoyance, more than anything (very manageable). I can tell I'm feeling more myself (and clearing anaesthesia and drugs from my system) because the Linus grief rolled back in yesterday. Trying to balance body healing with soul healing, but really wishing I were recovering with my best boy.

Dad had his gallbladder out. Still working to get all of his details OK so he can go home. Probably tomorrow.
I am medically clueless, so we are learning.
#PostSurgery loopiness was unexpected. Might be 24 hrs before it goes away. We feel like we have a bitchy, drunk toddler to manage. He argumentatively wants to do everything he's not supposed to do.
We are taking turns with him, since he is exhausting.
#Grateful he is on the mend.
#Nurses are incredible. I have no idea how they do this.

I got home today from 5 days in #hospital #PostSurgery
1. GET YOUR SCREENINGS
This removed a pre-cancerous polyp in my colon found during colonoscopy but couldn’t be removed during it. If it had been left, it WOULD have turned cancerous.
2. Surgery was a bowel resection
They snipped out a bit of my colon w/ the polyp, stapled it back together.
3. Not fun
But from all I’ve seen cancer is even less fun.
4. Recovery will take a while
But I’m ok. Love y’all. ❤️
