So....It isn't JUST about Gas!

The morning wasn't very old when some of the sounds we have been waiting so long for,came from the bathroom. GAS! And it came more than once. We were in heaven!
So we are three days before scheduled surgery, and the bowel is starting to work.

Enter the Surgeon. Sorry to tell you, but the C-T scan shows enough of a blockage that we will need to operate. There is too much going on in the "transition point" to be cleared out with just passing some gas.

DEFLATE!

It does give them more confidence that it is not a tumor because that would likely be total blockage. It also gives them more confidence that it will be taken care of relatively easily. Asked again, can it start working without surgery, his answer was less than 1% chance.

So it took us the rest of the day to regroup and rethink, and talk and talk.

And question.

Do we still have faith in the team that we have working for us?

Yes, we agreed that we had confidence in each one of the surgeons on the team.

We will stay the course! Period!
