I'm BAAAAAACCCCCKKK!

Hello everyone, I survived the surgery! It went well and though the doctor expected the surgery to take an hour and a half, it only took half an hour. There was minimal bleeding and no complications, PRAISE GOD!

I was able to go home, well to my parents’ house, just 32 hours after surgery. So I am using their computer to send you a note. It is 9:00 pm and , it is time for more pain killers so I will keep this short.

I have a small “pucker” in my skin where they glued the skin together and it is weeping just a little bit but that should stop fairly soon. I never felt bad before the surgery and if it wasn’t for this 12 inch hole in my side, I would not imagine that I was missing the kidney either.

All the prayers and good thoughts sure worked, I was calm about the entire procedure. Now I just need to recover from the surgery and there is a very high chance that all will be well, and this chapter in my life will be over. The tumor was IN the kidney, about the size of an egg and was 100 percent contained IN the kidney so it really looks like this will be a permanent fix.

Keep the prayers coming; I need all the help recovering I can get!

Thank you all!!!
