Day 4 update - as she transitioned from ice chips to Italian ice and Apple juice, a lot of adjustments to her diabetes medications in getting her dialed in to being without tail of pancreas. Using blood clotting medication intermittently. Progressing from short walks to laps around hospital floor. Pain level very manageable up to this point. Surgeon is discussing continuing Cap/Tem chemo after healing to continue to try to reduce the molecular tumors still left in right lobe of liver. With possibility of removing right lobe of liver in the future.

Tell the wifey to hang in there. She will be fine to keep fighting on. Just an fyi, I was sent home with 23 self injectable blood thinners. I am doing ok at 9 days post op. But I have to say that I’m having some gut issues: lots of gas, and diarrhea. Lot gut related pains. I can’t seem to figure it out. Could be not enough enzymes etc…. Nevertheless keep pushing forward with the wife it will get better with time rest and healing.
