Sounds very hopeful! ((hugs)))
Try to walk around as much as you can today and over the upcoming days. And go easy on the pain meds if you can, as it is scary enough to move your bowels after surgery without being constipated. (Prune juice may your best friend right now.) I had a hard time getting my digestive system to 're-awaken' after my surgery, and found that drinking very warm tap water, one glass after the next, was the only thing that made me feel better. (Wierd, huh?) The worst is over now. Compared to the surgery, I thought chemo and radiation were both much easier than those first few days after surgery. Just remember that after a handful of rough days, you will be feeling soooooo much better, so hang in there. ((((hugs)))) -

Happy that the surgery is behind you. Take care of yourself as you heal. Praying for good news from your pathology report!
