    Surgery
    Good luck on your surgery. I'm sure that things will come out fine and I'm glad that all came back so well. Just remember to walk, walk, walk after surgery because it will make you heal faster. It might be uncomfortable to walk, but it will do you good. Let us know how you are doing.

    blessings during surgery
    Hi Bruce,

    Thanks for sharing about your surgery. That's great that the ct scan came back negative for anything! I am praying right now for all to go smoothly with both the actual surgery tomorrow and your recovery after surgery and the days to follow. Do you know if you will be needing either a colostomy, either temporary or permanent? Obviously, that will make a huge difference in your recovery depending upon whether you need the colostomy or not.
    You take care and please check back in with us as soon as you're able so we won't worry and wonder about you. Maybe there's even someone you know who can log on and report in for you?

    Take care and God bless you and keep you-
    Lisa

    as of what the dr's said no, because if there is anything at all it would be a very small section being removed and attached the same day.
    thanks
    i will be checking in after the surgery, the hospital has internet right at bedside
