Clay update
Morning everyone, Clay is still doing well, more alert this morning, bit of a rough night (some spasms as her inside are starting to readjust) but much better now, they are going to get her up into the chair this afternoon and PT is schd to come by either late this afternoon or in the am. Doc's came in this morning and all is par for the course.
Keep all the good vibes flowing! |

They had me up and walking the day after surgery. It is all about getting the bowels moving. I walked around that unit for 6 days until I finally had a bowel movement and could go home (went home on day 7). The second surgery took longer. I was in there for 12 days or something like that (the first 3 were spent with me just laying there, waiting to see if somehow the adhesions weren't as bad as they appeared and surgery wouldn't be necessary). I was up and walking every hour I wanted out so bad. The nurses were like, what the hell? Finally an old school midnight shift nurse came in and said, "I don't care that they say, you are drinking prune juice tonight". Did I go to the bathroom? Damn straight I did. (supposedly one is not supposed to drink prune juice anymore after a colon resection). The other secret? Lay on her left side.

They are doing a really good job of pain managment, I'm quite impressed. He is not going to let her have any liguids by mouth till Mon , once they get her up and in the chair this afternoon we hope the bloating and pressure will start to ease, that has been the biggest issue so far. |

He has PT coming in as she fell a couple weeks ago, stepped off the curb and her knee went south so he just wants to make sure she won't have any further issues once they get her walking around. They really cover all the bases here, I'm very pleased with that as well!

It was the same nurse that told me to lay on my left side. I know that this really does help b/c I found that after being home, until my bowel system got to a semi-regular state, every time I rolled over to my left side in bed, I had to pop up to go to the bathroom. Kind of weird. Anyway, you will find that in a 1-3 days Clay will become obsessed with having a bowel movement in order to get the hell out of there! Plus, the nurses ask you every other minute if you have had one. They also warn you of this! lol

I wouldn't suggest passing the above information onto Clay right now as it may just worry her, but I want to pass it along to you, just so that you are not overly surprised if they come back saying they found it in a few lymph nodes. I just hope that the doc made it clear that it is possible that it really could be in the lymph system and chemo would have to be done in that case. I was too drugged both visits, so it didn't effect me, but hearing everything is fine and then a few days later hearing the cancer traveled into the lymphatic system was upsetting for both my mother and partner. <--- praying the doc is right and was not found in any lymph nodes

Clay update
Rough night, wheww poor Clay fluid buldup in her stomach couldn't get a good breath and they didn't tube her till this morning after the doc saw her...once the tube was in she felt soooo much better...she is finally resting and we hope she is moved to a private room today. Her pain lvl is great she hasn't had to "hit" the little extra button, they still have her on the epiy and it is working really well for her. I feel so bad for her and there's not much I can do but keep watch and hold her hand when she needs it I really feel kinda useless
Will update later! Thanks so much for all the support! |

Hello everyone....just popping in to give an update...
Mom arrived yesterday evening....very underweight, looking exhausted and, of course, refusing her wheelchair and carrying too much stuff through the airport...grrrrrrr. Got her home and settled in. She's confused how to work this different TPN pump, so a call is in to the nurse to come give her a lesson. In the meantime, she's already eating and drinking better here...because I'm pushy, and I cook. The key issue will be how much of it she can hang on to long enough to do her any good. So far she's had homemade pumpkin bread, tea with local honey, some scrambled egg with a little cheese, whole wheat toast without crusts and a little fresh orange juice (diluted with water). She took a bite of my steak....but only one. Part of her issue is that everything was tasting bad to her....and this all went reasonably well, so we'll see. Chemo is extended 6 months, but she's still saying she wants to go home in the spring and is keeping her house. In the next breath, she's telling me where everything is stored and hidden....just in case.
