It's been 2 weeks, tomorrow staples come out. Pathology reports came out hopeful and we aren't planning on any further intervention beyond this completed surgery at present. Eating and digesting are not a problem, but fatigue and pain and tightness at the 8 inch incision are still issues. I'm doing fine with no complications at this point. I was petrified before surgery. I'm peaceful now in spite of the pain and the enforced slow down after this major surgery. I know lots can happen even now, but i am at least content that i did what i could as soon as I could and the rest is in God's hands.
