Home from surgery

Air and Derek, post-op, doing great! at Flickr.comI'm back home now. The surgery to reconnect my intestines into proper working order (almost a year and a half after my initial cancer-induced disconnection surgery) went well, and I am recovering about as fast as could be expected.

To no one's surprise, and I'm tired and sore and plan to do a bunch of sleeping rather than blogging, email, and so forth. Overall, it went very well, and I'm doing my best to avoid having to go back into the hospital with a blockage like a did last time.

Okay, I have to lie down now.

Congrats! Take it easy and be sure to stock up on Immodium, flushable wipes, and the good TP. I hope the next few weeks are entirely uneventful. :)

sending big hugs, hoping for a quick recovery, in no-news-is-good-news style.
