Complications continued

 My CT scan showed a blockage in my intestine where the large and small intestines join. It is common with bowel surgery, causes horrible pain and vomiting, and ultimately put me back into the hospital where I will stay for now. I have a naso-gasrtic tube in, along with at least 6 other monitors, IV's, etc. The saying goes: "everyone hates NG tubes, except the people with bowel blockage, they love them"  I am on the "love them" team. So I am now in a waiting game to see if the block will resolve as the swelling decreases, which is very likely. Or, if I have to have a second surgery to open the blockage. 

I feel so much better, back to where I was when I last blogged. The biopsy results are also hopeful. My uterus, ovaries are clean, no cancer. The messintaric mass is being sent on for further evaluation. 

Sorry for not responding to your many questions, thoughts and wishes. Many of you assumed I was out of danger, but I have just been too busy managing pain, vomit, appointments, exhaustion to consider blogging. 

I am back in my flannel pajamas, my silks are in the vomit pile right now, I'm hanging out in Kaiser ER, this time I have a cubicle with a door.  Nat spent the night with me, so helpful, Gene is here today, managing the NG tube, it is very temperamental, his gastric tube skills improve every hour.  It has been a wild ride. 

Bye for now, monitors are all alarming.

Day of frustration

 My cold is getting worse, now I have chest/rib pain when coughing and my expectorant is turned from clear to yellow to greenish.  For several hours today, I was unable to stop the coughing and catch my breath.  I was really glad I didn't have a 12-inch surgical incision down my belly to contend with. Delaying was the right decision.  I know many of you are great planners and organizers like I am. For decades, my electronic or paper planners have kept me going.  But this year, as January rolled around, I decided to shift down to a very small, purse size, cute, appointment book. No space for notes, lists, or reminders, just a simple place to keep my hair and nail appointments.  I had determined that 2023 was going to be a, "not so busy", "no babies coming", "no big trips planned" sort of year. A quiet year, that began, as we closed the door on the 2022 Casita project. Then, 9 days into the New Year, my "quiet year" became pretty noisy. After a...

Pretty great news!

 If you remember, back to the beginning of this Blog, it began because I sent out 15-20 texts saying "My endometrial biopsies are negative!" And by the time most of you had received my text, I had received a call from the surgeon to tell me that my other masses needed to be removed and biopsied and that there were still lots of question marks. I was too disappointed to send out another group of texts, so I started my blog, which has allowed me to tell my story once.  So, today, I met with the oncologist and more questions have been answered. Of all of the "stuff" that was removed from my belly. The right and left ovaries, uterus, lymph nodes, gooey fat thing that I forget it's proper name, suspicious mass on my jejunum... all of these are fully negative for cancer. Whoopee!  The remaining question was regarding the mesenteric para-ganglion mass that was fully removed and had clean edges, but it is a rare type of cancer that grows along areas with nerves and my f...

Back to Yoga

 April 22, 2023 It has been three and 1/2 months since the "Event". My scar is healing, my surgeon has given me permission to start going back to my "normal life".  Is life every actually "normal" after a crisis?  I am not sure that any of us ever return to our prior selves after we have looked at death, but hopefully, we move forward, a little bit wiser and with more compassion.  Yesterday, I went back to my yoga studio and did two sessions. It felt fabulous!  As I told my yoga teacher about my cancer scare, she shared that her mother had a similar experience and she had the same exploratory surgery. In her mother's case, the surgeons found cancer throughout her pelvis and she did not survive. Listening to her story, reminded me of how lucky I am. Not everyone get's good news.  Yesterday, I finally sent my passport away for renewal, and I'm beginning to cautiously considering traveling again.  Today, I am even thinking that I might have a 70th...
