Good news! Paul came home today, beating the estimated time of release by 24 hrs. He's walking upright, climbing stairs, and going to have tomato soup and mashed potatoes for supper...only instructions we got was return to regular diet, avoiding hard to digest or spicy foods. Considering he only started eating jello yesterday, I didn't want to get too wild and have an explosion!!
Better news!! The tumor was malignant BUT was encapsulated, entirely within the bowel, and none of the 29 lymph nodes they took had any cancer cells. We will see the oncologist, but are hopeful any further treatment will be comparatively "mild" and easily tolerated.
I plan to sleep long and hard tonight...Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes.
Love,
Mary Jo
