First of all, I would like to say a great big thank you to all of you. The love and concern shown to Roni and me during this ordeal has been overwhelming. I am truly grateful to have you all on my side.
As for me, I am still recovering from the surgery. I would like to think that I should be more healed than I am, but I just remind myself that they did cut me open and dug around my guts for 3 hours. I am not sure how long the recovery is supposed to take, hopefully the Dr. can let us know more tomorrow when we see him. I am also looking forward to being reassured that the ileostomy is only temporary. I hate this thing. :-(
I am also hoping that the Dr. will remove the sutures tomorrow. They are really starting to annoy me and are itching.
On Thursday, we go see a Carcinoid Cancer specialist for a second opinion. Once we talk to him and then again to the actual Oncologist who will be doing the work, we will hopefully have a better idea of the treatment that I will have to undergo.
As for me, I am doing OK. Some days are better than others. Some days are scary and some days I feel invincible. Today wasn't such a good day. I'll just be glad to start getting some info from the doctors and learning what the next steps will be.
I have also not been sleeping well. Waking a couple of times during the night and having a hard time getting back to sleep. This also makes me tired during the day, when I should be up and moving around.
Well, it is about 10 PM and I am getting tired. I will do my best to be as honest as I can on this blog to let you all know what is going on. I am not good at sharing my feelings (just ask Roni) but this experience has begun to help me learn. I pray to G-d that it will also help me be a better person.
Thank you again for all of your love, concern and prayers. We'll post another update after we meet with the doctors.
