Post surgery update

Well I'm typing in this update from my I Phone. The surgery was a success. The doctor told me he looked all through my abdomen and did an ultrasound of the liver. Only the single tumor was found and removed. No need to remove my gallbladder either.
Once again the epidural is working some magic -- no pain. I have been extremely tired and still haven't walked yet. I did get up and out of bed for a bit. And that felt good to do.
My wife Connie and brother George went to eat lunch so I thought I would use this quiet time to post this quick update.
Thank you all for the prayers and positive energy. Please keep the prayer power flowing, it truly does make a difference.
I really want them to remove the drain from my stomach. It is very uncomfortable and it's hurting my throat but I know they will do what's best.
All the nurses and aids are awesome and we are being treated very nicely. And I think I received a frequent flyer perk - I'm in my own room.
God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Philip

Wow, you rock, Phil!
Already posting and changing your profile pic...I'm impressed! Cancer has a serious fight on its grubby mitts with you, dude.
So glad that there was just the one spot, too. That's excellent news.
Now keep on getting better and get home soon.
Hugs and healing thoughts~AA

Love the picture. I'm so happy that there was only one spot. When I had my surgery my Md also did an ultrasound while in surgery. It's a good feeling knowing that it was only one spot and an ultrasound proved it. I hope you get stronger everyday and feel better surgery is over.

Excellent
So wonderful it was in just one spot! Whooo Hooo.
You should be up and walking the next day with no problem. I remember walking the first day on my last liver surgery but only because I was confused from the drugs and thought it was the second day, otherwise I would have stayed in bed!
Do your walking, get plenty of rest, use the pain relief they provide, drink plenty of fluids, and we'll see you out of there in a few days.
