Yesterday on post-op day 4 I was discharged from the hospital. I met my doctor in the morning and he asked how I was doing and if I wanted to go home that day. I said yes that I could manage at home as there was very little pain and benefit from me staying at…
I am a little disappointed that I could not hit my discharge date of Friday. I am not surprised as I was in no condition to be discharged yet. Everyday gets easier now and I will be out today or tomorrow barring some thing weird happening. I walk more and more everyday. I have a…
I had surgery 2 days ago and it went well. Originally he took out 50% and then sent it to pathology. There was no sign of cancer in those cells but he decided to err on the side of caution and took out more. There is some discrepancy on whether he took out 80 or…
6:30 – I am waiting in the surgery admission room now. It is interesting how many people are here first thing in the morning. The atmosphere here is much different than last time. A lot of the people this morning have a support person with them. Not everyone is here for overnight, but people have…

Yesterday when I came in for pre-admisson there was someone at the entrance asking for money. I never carry cash so did not give him any. The lady behind me asked him what he needed the money for and he said for some food at Tim Hortons. She proceeded to give him enough money so…
Tomorrow I go to the hospital for my 3 hr pre-admission. I need to remember to bring my note book and to write everything down. During this time I have some bloodwork and meet some people. I am not sure what to expect. If it was a Thursday I would have gone in a suit….
Yesterday I received a phone call from my doctor telling me about some of the results from my CT. He saw that my colon was inflamed and asked if I had pain on my right hand side. I had replied no and he was not too concerned about proceeding with the surgery on Wednesday. He…
