Update on Sam's (chappy) surgery;
Hello Family and Friends
Today is Nov, 19th. One week to the day since I was opened up.
Now, are you ready for this?? I'm home!!
Sue's brother Kenyy drove Sue and I home yesterterday. We gor here about 2:30 pm. A friend Iron Mike from Epsom was here waiting to give Kenny a ride but we were able to visit for a few minutes before they left. I was good to visit with Kenny and Mike, but, to tell you the truth I was beat and it didn't take me long after they left before I was in my own bed. AHHHHHHH!! It felt so good.
I can't say thank you enough for all your thoughts and prayers. I am so blessed to have a family and friends like you all. This is the first time I'm at the computer and I have made about 6 calls on the phone. I'm sure I will get to it a little moe each day day as I gain my strength back. And as I do I will continue to keep you in the loop.
I go to the Vermont VA hospital on Monday to see my Oncoligist. I will get a little more info on the pathology lab results then, but the full results will take many days if not weeks to complete. I also have an appointment for with the surgent on Dec 1 as a followup and a day to set the plan of attack against the cancer that remains in my chest. We knew that he couldn't get it all, but we are so happy that he got as much as he did. I'm happy that I was able to get released from the hospital a couple days before the original plan set for Fri the 20th. Because of the size of the biggest tumor it was even brought up more than a couple times that I may have to stay a couple extra days. My heart had been under such a load due to the size of the large tumor that after I was stitched back up my heart grew some wings and wanted to fly. Freedom is a wonderful thing !! But, or So, I have to take a pill 3 times a day just just to slow my heart down so it will beat at a normal pace. I guess 130 a minute is a bit much.
Until I post again
Dad, Sam, chappy
