Three Weeks

Tomorrow will be three weeks since my reconnection surgery in Denver. The recovery so far has been slow and rather frustrating. In several ways, it has been tougher then the recovery in October. I have been surprised at how painful and how long it has taken to get my lower GI tract working again. The suture site with the 15 staples has also been causing some trouble, with leakage and pain over the three weeks. Thankfully, I had them removed Friday, on what will hopefully be my final trip to see Dr. Sellers and PSL Hospital.

So, all that being said, I am finally starting to feel a little better today, just in time for the beginning of chemo treatment tomorrow morning. Lucky me! After not feeling well for almost a year now, I am gathering strength for the final 6 months of my treatment plan. I am hoping and praying for a rather uneventful 6 months of chemo. I know there are plenty of side effects that could occur, but hopefully they are minor or non-existent. Guess I'll know more by tomorrow evening. Thanks again for you're support.

If you did not have the strength, you would not have been presented with the challenge. =) I have faith, as do others.
