All went as planned and now CaseID 321918 is back in his comfy home this snowy evening.
It was questionable early this morning if we would even be able to get to the hospital with the ice and snowy weather. Dr. Yang's office even called to see if I would be there, as north bound route 83 was completely shut down for a while. (Thanks to several of you for the ride offers.) But we left with plenty of time and Nick got me there and we were even early.

The doctor continued my pancreas incision making it a bit longer. Which, although a little more than uncomfortable, I guess is better than a brand new cut because with all the surgeries I've had over the years I'm really beginning to look like some kind of thingamajigsawpuzzle.
Things are true to what the doc said -
I'm pretty sore this evening and he's collared me with several limitations (grrrr) like:
NO snow shoveling, No lifting any weight at all, and No driving for a while.
NO snow shoveling, No lifting any weight at all, and No driving for a while.
So if you see me thumbing along the road of recovery stop and give me a lift. Will ya?
I've got good stories.
I promise it wouldn't be a boring ride.
Thanks to all of you for all your support and for checking in here.
If you never had had any surgeries, you still would not be a boring ride ; )
ReplyDeleteAre you the one who taught Nick to drive on trecherous roads? Nice job, Nick!
It must be getting a bit easier to follow Dr's orders...so relax and continue to recover (off the road).
Just a strong reminder...no shoveling snow...no removing ice and snow from trees and shrubs...allow your "self" to hibernate. PATIENCE!
ReplyDeleteBah!
ReplyDeleteNo hibernation wanted / needed. Hibernation is just about one step from death.
