Well, I'm finally home again now. FWIW, I spent 21 days in the hospital. Was supposed to be there maybe 3 days, but things come up and need to be handled. At first, what was to have been a 2 hr proceedure normally, turned into a 5 hr. marathon for my doc. Then, I had some breathing problems in the aftermath, and then a bout with some sort of infection. They wanted to keep me at least 1 to 4 more days, but I'd had enough. I couldn't have gotten better care than I got from my docs and nurses, but I could NOT envision another day there. They had me on some IV antibiotics for the infection, but I'm on orals now that I'm home. It seems to be doing the job. Wounds are healing well.
Dorothy had it right back in Oz: "There's no place like home!" Amen to THAT! Will have to do some tests in a little bit to verify whether they got all the cancer or not. Whatever the Lord allows to be put in my path, I'll deal with, and be happy for the chance to do so.
I have to thank all of you who've sent up prayers on my behalf. Being away for 3 weeks was a serious loss to me. "Good company" is always a blessing, and you guys are some of the very best around. Thanks, and FWIW, I prayed for you guys as well. I always will.
Oh yes, I'm wearing Depends type undies until my nerves wake back up and resume their duties. I sure hope they'll be quick about it! But I'm just glad to be here and experiencing most of the best things in life. I'll take that any day.
