Note From the Hospital

Merry Christmas Naquillists. Hope everyone is enjoying their family and friends today. I popped in to say my surgery went well Thursday. They removed 15" of my right colon and said the cancer was the size of a quarter. I slept most of the day Thursday and had a tumultuous night with all the gas pain. Otherwise I've had a smooth recovery.

Friday I was able to start on a liquid diet, take out my catheter and take off the oxygen too. I walked around the fifth floor 10 times and sat in a chair for a bit. I even got to shower. That was very relaxing. I slept much better last night, than the first, too.  I still miss my home bed though.

Today I've been upgraded to some solid foods like oatmeal, toast and yogurt. A few of my favorites but, I haven't been able to eat them as well as I'd like because of all the medicine I've been taking. It makes me really sleepy too.

If I continue doing well I may get to come back home tomorrow. I would love that so everyone keep your fingers crossed. Thanks again for all your kind words, prayers and support through this difficult time. It means so much to me. xoxoxo
