Over and done with!

This is where we spent the last 6 days.
Mr. Clark had his colon surgery.
Every thing went GREAT.
We were blessed with a small miracle in that they didn't have to take 3" of colon.
Sliced it open, removed the polyp and closed him up.
He had an added bonus out of this surgery.
He also had a hernia removed from his naval.
We didn't realize he had one. We feel we got a 2 for 1 deal. Oh wait a minute...
a 3 for 1 deal... I forgot they also added a port to do Hemo Dialysis. 5 incisions. He's Home and doing OK!

Dialysis, Kind of tough to see your own blood outside your body.
They will be doing Hemo(blood) dialysis for a few weeks until his stomach heals to continue Peritoneal Dialysis.
We are praying it all works out.

Leg wraps are for circulation. Mr. Clark's life saver.
Oh wait a minute...
He would say the "morphine" was his life saver!

This is our view from ICU.
The good thing about ICU is I had a support group! The waiting room families. We all had a few laughs and a lot of tears.
I had to be grateful for our own problems. Ours were minimal to others.

This is our view from our regular room. So nice to see it GREEN!

After 5 days of NO FOOD. Mr Clark welcomed yucky scrambled eggs. This hospital is unique in you call and order from the menu. As much as you want when you want it. Loved it!

Mr. Clark KICKED THE BUCKET
literally!
This was his buddy. He had issues with nausea and he would not let us put the bucket out of his site. He hollered at me yesterday,
"Sharon, I kicked the bucket"
We got a good laugh!
A good laugh? Yes, because death is always in the back of our minds.
The what if?
We feel thankful everything is OK.
