John had his 2nd surgery last week. I am so far behind on blogging. It’s just been a little crazy here. I hope to back up soon and write a little about all of the things we did over the past month. It should be pretty easy--- they mainly dealt with doctor’s offices. lol (swine flu, enlarged lymph nodes, surgery, mom’s cancer, immunizations…….it seemed like almost every day!)
So, back to my story. ha!
John had his “takedown” surgery last Tuesday. That’s where they went in to the stoma site and reconnected the small intestine and took away his illeostomy forever. woohoo! His digestive system is routing through his small intestine again and working well. So far, so good!
I can not believe how well he is doing! My man is a trooper! : ) He had VERY LITTLE pain afterwards and barely took any pain meds. The only day he had much pain was the day he came home and that was because of walking, dressing, riding in a car, etc. Once he got settled, he was fine.
He’s also crazy (ha)--- he went to church Saturday night to do the paint talk presentation at the Fall Festival / Trunk or Treat. Yes, he really did. Did I mention that he was hard headed???? He really did feel fine though. (and he went to church on Sunday morning and to the office a few hours on Monday)
He’s on strict orders by me to stay in bed or the recliner resting today. I told him that if he didn’t, I would lock him in the dog’s kennel. lol
He looks so good and it’s great to see “my husband coming back”. I missed him! He’s feeling better and acting like himself more and more each day. I can’t wait until he’s 100% again.
It will still take a few months to have everything really good and completely normal inside again, but we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Hmmmmmmm………maybe we don’t want to “see the light”. Ok, so we’re seeing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Does that sound better???
I love you, John! I’m so glad God has healed you! Woohoo!!!
