So happy you're
On this side of surgery. Be patient with yourself- your body has been thru quite a trauma it'll take time to recuperate. Rest when you need to-walk as much as you can without over doing it and ask for help when you need it -best of luck -June

Met with the doc
He said he got it all and saved about 80% of the kidney. Said it looked like all of the telltale signs of clear cell RCC. Will know in a week.
There was transition to one of the smaller veins which he removed. He doesn’t appear to be too concerned but is slightly concerning to me. Right now it looks like surveillance will be the plan. I think we will know for sure when pathology returns.
Lots of gas pain right now. Walked last night. It helped a bit. About to do the same in a few min. Cathader is out and doc says I may be good to go home today however I think it will actually be tomorrow. Hour car ride home.
As another patient from another online KC forum put it, time to go for a walk and crop dust some other rooms.

Good to hear! For the CO2,LanceHeal said:I’m alive
surgeon rocked it! Saved 75% of the kidney. Lots of CO2 pain but otherwise holding up. More to come later.
Good to hear! For the CO2, walking helps a lot. Just don’t overdo it.

So glad it's behind you! If
So glad it's behind you! If it's not too late, have whoever is driving you home bring a large garbage bag. Put it on seat and that way you can just swivel in and out of car instead of twisting your body. Helped me tremendously. Speedy recovery!

Glad the surgery is over.
Glad the surgery is over. Remember to ICE incisions if needed; cuts down on pain killers
AND used to swing my arm in a circle to move that gas pain around and out.
Walking good, balanced with rest.
i used a lumbar, velcro wrap used for bad back support. Used it after all my surgeries and to bed. Helps to turn, get up, esp from bed and chairs. Sold at drugstores and such.
You are on your way to a full recovery!1
Healing hugs, Jan
