The alien has been returned to its natural habitat! Surgery at 7 am this morning....spent half the day in ER with my mom (mid-nineties) yesterday...she has a bowel obstruction so she is now on the seventh floor and I am on the third floor ..same hospital...she is doing good and so am I. Pain is pretty intense but they are staying on it...I'm up and puttering around my room with IV pole for support....may go up and see mom tomorrow. Only getting broth and juice right now. I had so many obstacles to overcome to get to this point. I am truly grateful for all those who have shared their experiences. Thank you especially to Jodie!

Thank you, Bill. The surgeon just came in and said all looked well. But we are adding food through very slowly. He was surprised I started walking three hours after surgery. He is anticipating recovery will go smoothly. Mom is four floors above me on broth as well...lol... could not have planned it better.

It was a surprise to me that you were up and walking so soon after surgery. You're going to do great. Glad your mom is nearby and doing well.
