Let the Healing Begin!

The operation went well.  Both docs, colorectal surgeon (Francone)  and plastic surgeon (Vernadakis) reported that everything went well with no problems.  Francone saw no signs of previous cancer and suggested that the difficult rounds of chemorad did their job.  Pathology, completed in a week or so, will let us know for sure.

Jane is settled in her room (7E11) at Lahey Burlington.  She came up from recovery drowsy and is sleeping comfortably.  Her room has a nice view looking west over route 128.  While she cannot get up from bed for two days,when she gets up she will appreciate the view.  

I successfully distracted myself with HBO shows while Jane was in surgery and have a nice recliner chair in the room so I should be comfortable too.  I feel lots of relief that she came through this procedure so well.  Now we start the long path of healing.  I'm game and I know that Jane will be too.

Thank all of you that wrote, texted, emailed, and prayed.  We both appreciate all of the good wishes and thoughts.  

Love, Stephen
