Hi Guy's...
It's me! I'm home too. Got here last night about 7:30 PM.
Let me first say, THANKS SO MUCH for your kind thoughts and prayers. Things went much better that anybody thought or expected. Total time in the hospital was five days.
First things first. I aint NEVER goin back' in a hospital ever again! Do you know some crazy nurse will walk into your room at 4 o'clock in the morning, and wake you up just to take your temperature? Then, of course, they just had to do this, after I woke up from having surgery, I discovered what catheterisation was all about.
Well, I'm tired, and kinda weak, they kicked my butt real good. But I'm home.. Now it's on to chemotherapy.... that'll be fun I'm sure. The good news is that the tennis ball sized tumor they removed from my large intestine had NOT broken thru the wall of the intestine. If there's no cancer in the lymph nodes that were also taken out, (I wont know that for another week) then "standard colon cancer chemotherapy" is all that will be required. That's not nearly as bad.... so the doc say any way. Oh yeah Doc? Well, have YOU ever had a foley catheter??
There was one real good thing though. A 27 year old female smokin' hot surgical resident looked in on more than once. And guys when I say smokin' hot, I mean SMOKIN'. She coulda been a model, or a TV News Bunny or whatever she wants. She said surgery was her thing. I kinda figured maybe I could be her patient. Then I'm sure I'd go to the doctor more often. And lemme tell ya, if I was her patient, she could catheterize me any time she wanted to. All she'd have to say is "Drop 'em Fella."
