7:45 AM Getting ready to head to the IU Simon Cancer Center for a visit. Hopefully I will be tube free afterwards, back to a normal person, as if I can be normal.
See you later with an update. God Bless, Captain
UPDATE 3 PM
Most is good news. The drainage bag is gone, the tube is still there until next Thursday, just to make sure. Obviously, once you remove it, you can't just stick it back in there. So we are pretty much a regular person, but sleeping on my right side is out cause I got this tube still sticking out.
The X-ray scan showed all the bile ducts open and working good, except for one constricted area, and of course we are watching it. The liver is working fine, it is growing back or I wouldn't be here. The liver must regenerate that fast in order to keep you alive. If it was slower, the liver couldn't do it's job and death would follow shortly, that's why 80 % is regrown in the first 3 weeks.
So, the wife and I went to Iaria's for lunch (great Italian food ) then took Meridian st. north and just enjoyed the beautiful day, the flowering trees on houses and landscaping we can only dream about. Ended up at Trader Joe's with nothing in mind to buy, just looking, and we only spend $11 on frozen lobster meat.
I'm going to take a nap now. For UPS, I and the Doctor are looking at May 7th to return to work without any complications popping up.
Thanks for all your prayers, God Bless, Captain
Great news Grover! Sounds like you and the "Babe" had a great day. Still sending prayers your way!
