Not much can make me speechless, as most of you may know. But here I am sitting in my hospital room at 5am, not able to sleep, and I took out my iPad to try to distract myself. I wandered onto the Forum and found the thread begun by Me2Me for prayers and good wishes for me. Well, Ladies, you did it. The tears began rolling down my cheeks and continued even after reading the last post. So much kindness given to me. I am deeply humbled and comforted. Although dreadfully inadequate, thank you very, very much. My condition: the tumor was larger than expected and twisted, so it wasn't able to be removed by the "easier," for me, method. But the offending junk is gone, along with about two feet of my colon. The great news is that visually the surgeon feels it is benign, which has become one of my favorite words. I'm feeling, in that famous medical term, kind of "yucky" today which is not unexpected on the third day after surgery. If all the planets are in correct alignment, and I'm really well behaved, I should go home today and work on healing. Again, thank you so much for all the warm wishes. They worked! And a special thanks to me2Me for beginning the thread.
