Mom is in the recovery room as I type and will be going to her room soon. The doc said things went slow (4 1/2 hours) but very good and they got it all. He said that is was slow because he wanted to do it laprascopicly (SP?) which means he only had to make a couple small cuts instead of one big one. Mom was groggy when I saw her but she was so relieved that they were able to do it that way and so were her boys.

Now, to make 100% sure it was not cancer they have to sent it to the lab. Not sure how long that will take. Shes not in a room yet so I dont have a complete address for those that want to send cards, but I will post it when I do.

Does anyone have any info on how Brew is doing?....Sure would be nice to know that he made out ok!

Mom asked me to thank you all, so THANK YOU! Kiss

You all ROCK!!!! Smiley

Jonny,

So cool to hear that your Mom is doing well.

Just a suggestion, if you don't mind. Mom's laparoscopy incisions are gonna smart when she tries to move around so if you have a pillow or a folded towel, she can use them to hold against the incisions when she tries to get up, move around or cough. Splinting the incisions helps to lessen the pain a bit.

She will surely have some owies for a while but I hope she is feeling better A.S.A.P.

Brew's home and as fine as he can be doped up on pain meds and sleeping.

So glad to here Edith's surgery was done laparoscopically - less recovery time than with big incisions. Give her a squeeze (gently) from us and then post that address PDQ. Hospital gift shops have the BEST get well cards!

Hugs to you and yours, Jonny - and thanks for the well wishes for Brew.

Thanks for all your kind and healing wishes, clusterville! I am on the mend and enjoying the effects of schedule 2 narcotics.

Since I'm a little loopy, I don't feel as inhibited about sharing a few more details of my procedure (you'll see why it might be just a little embarrassing). I had some large areas of skin removed from my inner, upper thighs and crotch due to the long-term effects of something called hidradenitis suppurativa - a skin disease where the apocrine glands have a genetic defect and aren't able to flow properly. They get plugged up from underneath and then become infected, turning into big, painful abscesses. It's something my grandmother suffered from, and hopefully I will now get some more long-term relief. My crotch is a big mass of gauze and staples.

I'm in pain, but I'm also going to be fine. My thoughts and prayers now turn to Edith Grasselli, who I'm sure will have a longer road to recovery than I. Jonny, your mom, you, and your entire family are getting everything I've got. Take good care of her (as I know you will), and let her know that she's got all the vibes I can muster through this drug-induced haze.

I love you guys.

Bill

Ok, our two "sick uns" are doing good -- and NO Chuckles Has NOT checked in. Two down One to go....

Glad everything came out ok. Now get some rest -

Give 'em both a big hug (easy tho) from me (hugs always make sick folks feel better - trust me on that one).

PS Jonnny Cyn's suggestion is really a good one -- the tops of "tummy control" panty hose works good too to put a little pressure there (an old nurse's trick - we used to use "girdles" but I doubt you'd find one of those these days).

Hugs BD
