Just came across this today. I'm glad you are doing well and pray your recovery continues! Stay tough!

Hospitals are like jails. Harder to get out than in.

Missed this also, GREAT to hear. I do kind of wonder what Mr Whipple and the charmin have to do with surgery?

 

[clipper1]

I just saw this! Good to see you made it back home...yea boy!

 

[ACORN]

Best wishes for you and your family through this

Best are both the best when you walk out.

Hope you're doing okay Mr. Rustyt. It sounds better now.

After a 7 day hospital stay and 5 days at home I am well on my way to recovery. My pain is now very manageable and I have slept most of the last 3 days. My appetite is coming back and my taste buds are regenerating.

This morning I was able to dress myself, grab my trusty walker, visit the loo and amble out to my happy place on the veranda unaided.

Life is most wonderful right now and I am blessed to have started yet another one.

My ribbon collection grows. Set 'em up and I'll knock 'em down.





Again, my most humble thanks to all who supported me and mine.

You are most welcome, my friend. I hope you don't mind if we keep it up.

...I do kind of wonder what Mr Whipple and the charmin have to do with surgery?

From a previous thread on RustyT's situation, post #458 by wood714:

"The Whipple procedure involves removing the head of the pancreas, a portion of the small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder, and part of the bile duct, according to the American Cancer Society. It's a challenging operation because it requires careful manipulation and reconnection of multiple organs."​

I resumed my watch.

Love those bottoms, wonderful picture of a person in recovery mode and with a sense of fun style.

My father had the Whipple done and lived 5-1/2 years afterwards and just got an all clear of cancer report when his heart stopped while having a pacemaker installed.
I sincerely hope all goes well for you and you enjoy many many years here on the forum.
Wouldn't be the same without you.

Glad you made it!
Had that procedure May 8, 2023 (VE Day) for IPMN, so pre cancerous in my case.
Any help or information I can provide, please feel free to DM me.
In my case, I was able to stop taking the digestive enzymes, so that's a good deal. Not back to "normal", but better than it might have been.
