Update on poor Dan. Bless his heart, he just can't do anything right when it comes to his body. Poor guy hasn't eaten anything since Sunday. Surgery on Tuesday. Pain on Wed and Thur. His poor belly looks like somebody planted a watermelon seed in him last September and it's still there on full water throttle. Huge belly! Gas! Finally after 48 hours, they had pity on him and hooked him up to morphine and nausea meds. He called me just before the full effects went in and said, "Don't come to the hospital. Go home and have fun. I'm ... slee...p...i...n..g ... So I guess I'll see him tomorrow. Seriously, we hope he's much better tomorrow, which was supposed to be his coming-home-day, but that ain't gonna happen. Maybe Monday
Modifying: For those not in the know, he had 4" of colon cut out. He's 61. If he'd had his colonoscopy 5 years ago, this would be a no-show. All gals and guys 55 or older, go get it done. I had mine 3 weeks ago. Had polyps removed (many), and nothing more due for 5 years. It's serious and painless. Get it done, please.
In the meanwhile, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORTS!! And Alden, behave yourself!! Judie can't take too much more from you!!!
