Here's and update, guys and gals.... All the tests are done, did the last three today. Everything is set for 0730 [EDT] on Monday the 21st. I have to turn myself in to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital around 1000 on Sunday, the 20th. They will do a bowel clean out process, prior to surgery. My doc told me he wants to keep me sedated for at least 18 hours after the surgery, to give my body a head start on healing. If I am out cold, I will not be moving and flitting around, and the healing process will get get a jump start. I expect to be in Intensive Care for two days, then go to a room. After I get out of ICU I can have my laptop, and I will be able to get back on line. So..... that's where we are. I do appreciate everything you guys and gals are doing and thinking.

My wife has several phone numbers of members, so she will call them after she knows something. They, in turn, will let the forum members know.

Here's hoping.....

Charles

Good luck Monday Charles!

Best wishes Charles. Positive thoughts and get a few laughs despite the stitches and you'll do fine. I survived a bout of the Big C 27 years ago and, much to the annoyance of some people near to me, I'm still very much alive and kicking. We'll see you back next week!

Sorry to hear Charles. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

I hope everything goes well in your surgery...and a speedy recovery because an ICU is never a restful place to be.
Regards, Derek
