I am in hospital - Update 11/1/2016

[AndySharon BoomerShaynaMariner]

Wednesday (10/19/2016)I had a partial nephrectomy done by robotic surgery to remove a kidney tumor. Not fun. I am recovering. I will not be released until I my bodily functions have returned to normal.
I was visited by two therapy dogs - they really help.
( I have omitted the gory details).
I am feeling much better but it will take a while until I get back to myself.

I have been home for a week. It is a slow process of healing from the surgery.  I still have pain - gradually getting better (trying to stay off pain pills) and I get tired very quickly.

This afternoon I go for my follow up with the surgeon.

Wishing you an easy and quick recovery XXX

Heal quickly.  I know that the therapy dogs help but that you also miss your own.

[Carol and Banjo]

So sorry you're in hospital.   Hope you're feeling much better very soon!

So sorry to hear of your health issue. I hope your recovery is smooth and faster than expected. I imagine your doodles miss you terribly-get ready for a big reunion! Be well!

Feel better soon!

[Lynda Kamrath]

Get well soon.  Surgery is never fun, or a stay in the hospital.  You will feel much better to just get home to your regular routine.  Hugs and best wishes.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Sending (((hugs))) and good thoughts for a speedy recovery. I am so glad that you had a doggy visit.  I am sure it cheered you up.

I am home and feeling better.  Shayna now sleeps by my feet and has taken the job of watching over me.

Thanks for the well wishes.
