I'm back
I'm OK.
I'm sorry for not posting sooner. I've been recovering both slower and more quickly than I expected. The surgery went well and the doc and pathologist say that the small area of cancer in the mass that was removed has not spread. I spent longer in the hospital than planned, under observation. My blood levels need beefing up. I couldn't handle solid food for a while (stomach thing, with spectacular vomiting and tedious nausea), but I'm gradually improving. Have added chocolate and alcohol to the diet, so life is more pleasant than before.
I still have doctors to deal with and more tests being done. With my sister and brother helping out, I've had more rest and sleep than in ages. The hospital was not a restful place, at least not for more than two hours at a stretch. The Moomin helped.
Mom didn't acknowledge my absence or sickness, not even when I was booting in the living room in front of her. She was very pleased to see my brother and sister. I hope her good mood continues, now that they're gone.
My brother drank all my good Scotch and didn't replace it, the rat!
