    ^^^^^ Hi Katy - sorry I missed this. Hooray for you and Sammy Superman!! That is awesome news.

    I'm doing great, but am going in for a cancer related surgery tomorrow. The cancer isn't back, but "my guy" has to rearrange my guts again. He has warned me that it's going to HURT....usually a surgeon won't tell you that....he also said he can't do the surgery laproscopically because he would be "bending instruments" @-) . I can just envision him with his knee(s) on my chest, getting some leverage...

    they say I'll be in the hospital for anywhere from 2 to 5 days. I just hope our puppy Piper can tell her old man is a little sore when I come home.

    P.S. I just passed three years cancer free and I think three is a milestone as well. When I hit five years, Sammy will be at seven :D

    Woah, Rob. Surgery that's supposed to hurt? I don't want to imagine. X_X

    Get yourself back home soon. When you're recuperating on the couch, don't let Piper bounce on your stomach.

    And congrats on the the 3 years! :-bd

    am I an idiot to think 2-5 days in the hospital might be kind of relaxing? :-/

    Best of luck to you Rob! Can Codie sneak in some decent food for you?

    well, I didn't croak on the table :D

    I got literally not a lick of sleep last night. Laying on my back, looking straight up is not terrible.....but if I try to roll a couple of degrees either way, it's like MOTHERF**KER!!!!!

    A hearty hospital breakfast is on its way! <:-P

    after which, a big Samoan is going to force me to take a walk.....not looking forward to that.

    I was thinking of you this morning, imalive, and smiled again at your comment about a relaxing 3-5 days in the hospital. Here's hoping you are enjoying a spa-like atmosphere!

    Happy you made it thru the surgery ok! Positive thoughts and chi being sent your way! :)
  • Who PrincessWho Princess Posts: 7,305
    Ah yes, getting you out of bed and on your feet as soon as possible after surgery. Supposed to speed your recovery. I remember being told that after I'd had major surgery several years ago and wanting to tell the nurse she was out of her effing mind.

    I'm glad you got through the surgery OK and spent a RELAXING evening afterwards. Continue to RELAX while enjoying that hearty breakfast of fine hospital cuisine, then take a nice RELAXING stroll. When you go home from this RELAXING atmosphere, please pass the name of this resort on to the rest of us. I've been under a lot of stress lately and would love to find a nice place to RELAX for a few days.

    Good to hear you survived!! ( like you wouldn't.. Phshhh!) and yes, I know it's painful, but getting back on your feet and moving Kels circulation on
    A forward path, and this keeps the blood from forming dangerous post surgery clots! So move move move! It truly does speed up recovery! Pretty soon it'll all be good again. Besides, you kicked cancer's ASS, dude! You got this! ;-)

    a little sleep.....any sleep.....would go a long way toward the relaxation I envisioned.

    the mocha shake here is not half bad. =P~
