Hi,
This is the first mass message I ever sent here.
All of the prayers and support meant a lot to me during the bout in hospital and I cannot thank any of you enough. I’ve been home almost a week and slowly getting more stable each day.
Home nurse visits have gone well checking on my wound vac and ostomy bag. I’m still getting used to both. I had a physical therapy person come by and he was impressed all things considered.
The surgeon says I’m repairable and he can make me as mediocre as before. He’s apparently fixed worse. At least that round shouldn’t require IICU and a mountain of support. A few days and a release from what I remember from the discussions.
Later next week I have my first follow-up with him.
Reversal or repair at the beginning was estimated at 3 to 6 months.
All I can do is take it day by day.
My wife has done a 1st rate job of taking care of me here and I would be sunk without her.
Many people have offered to help in any way they can. I’ve had to actually accept some. I’m an independent type and that part is tough sometimes.

Prayers and best wishes. I understand the part about not wanting to accept help. Charity is a two way street, and by gratefully accepting their help you are helping them to grow in charity. Get well soon!

we had a close friend go thru the exact thing you are going thru ...he had radiation then some chemo and then had the surgery...except the 6 weeks turned into longer because of covid delays....afterwards, he developed a bit of an ileus and it took him a while to get thru that....
but he's back to normal, eats like a monster and goes cross country skiing....
hang in there..
