Surgery Hurdles!

Positives: Finally getting solutions, after 8 months of tests
Spending lots of time with hubby
Quality time with children and grandson
Knowing one has enough intestines to spare a few inches
Not getting stuck in elevator, which happened only minutes before getting on
Getting special attention from one special nurse friend (You know who you are!)
Having good accommodations at Comfort Inn

Negatives: Seeing the 22 staples in Hubby's abdomen
Recognizing his lack of appetite when the broth, jello, and juice are placed before him
Getting hubby to drink enough water
Finding high fiber foods that suit hubby's appetite
Having questions about redness around staples
Having questions about distended abdomen
Trying to have a good bowel movement

Some hurdles are yet to be faced but so far we have been able to get over the ones we've had.
