    "Hey boys - I'm better than expected this morning. :)"

    Sounds like Rob is doing just what we knew he would; kicking some ass and allowing nothing stop him from a full recovery! I plan on dropping in the hospital to visit him before I leave for PJ20 this Friday. :)
    Awesome news, Dave. Thanks for sharing.
    Tell Rob HI FROM LIZARD when you see him!! :D

    Talked to Rob a few minutes ago, told me everything went good. He is in good spirits.

    I for one, was really happy to hear his voice, and know that he is doing good. :D

    Thanks for making my day Rob! Glad to hear you're up and *happy* :lol:

    Thanks for making me laugh today with your "I'm a grumpy.....right about now." :lol: :(

    But keep the faith and know positive Chi and thoughts continue to flow your way. Keep kicking cancer's sorry little rat bastard punk ass! Keep hangin' tough! I'll keep you in my thoughts at PJ20.

    Hey, maybe we could get a "Save the Pooper" (STP) chant going and someone could toss a note on stage explaining what it's for. Whaddya say my fellow Poopstars?

    Peace.

    good morning-

    hopefully, my mind has cleared enough for a coherent post.

    I was pretty apprehensive when i woke up tuesday morning (pre-surgery)...i didn't figure i would die on the table, but you never know. i woke up after the operation and thought "cool, i'm alive!" (yes, I am :mrgreen: )

    a few updates on the surgery...what i was beating around the bush about was that i had already decided to get a bag. when my surgeon asked "how many times would pooping your pants be acceptable?" and then kind of laughed when i said once a year, it was because i probably would have had accidents once a DAY :shock: . he said that some people are so freaked by a bag they make a decision that they would rather never leave the house and never be more than 20 ft from a toilet. well, not me! it took me a while to wrap my head around this but I know I made the right decision....and "in the end" a reconstruction would not have been possible after all. to be quite blunt, my anus and rectum are gone...and so is my cancer :) somewhere along the line, I started calling my cancer "colon" when it was rectal (more tricky) all along.

    so, all in all, we DID save the pooper...it just moved to a different spot :lol: ! and you're not off the hook on wearing those bracelets because, starting in october, i do 3 more months of chemo.

    my surgeon came in yesterday with a BIG smile on his face...pathology is back and it turns out I was stage III :shock: and they found 3 positive lymph nodes in the throw away tissue. but he is VERY positive it's all gone now. trying to pluck individual lymph nodes is not a good idea (or even possible in my area) so my whole rectum is gone. maybe I could have "saved it" in a jar...why didn't i think of that? :)

    i feel pretty good today. after 4 days of liquid, I start on solid food! i'm pretty sore but I walked the halls x4 yesterday and I'll be gimping around again today.

    re-reading this, yeah I'm still a little loopy but it's all good. i feel very positive and I could not have done it without you! thanks a million!!!!!
