    I'm the wrong person to ask.
    I'm the wrong person to ask. I had tons of complications and they kept me in the hospital for 16 days. Most people are up and out inside of a week, I think.

    Angela is young and hopefully will have a speedy, uneventful recovery. They will probably want to start chemo right away. The standard is Carboplatin and Taxol, every 3 weeks for a total of 6 treatments. Her hair will start to fall out within a couple of weeks after she starts chemo, so I suggest that before it starts, she might want to get it cut very short. It's less traumatic that way, and does not create such a huge mess. Otherwise, you find it everywhere - all over the pillow, clogging the shower drain, etc.

    Refer to Leesa G's posts/photos if Angela is the light-hearted type. Leesa had a party and her friends/spouse shaved her head into a Mohawk with multi-colored liberty spikes. Very empowering. Then after a bit of wine and a long photo op, they shaved the rest of it off. My grandkids were very impressed. They were so disappointed they didn't think of talking me into something like that.

    Did they place an IP port in her tummy?

    Wonderful news. Don't know what to expect as we are all different and have had different experiences after surgery. I had to stay in several days longer due to several things.

    Oh This is just wonderful
    Oh This is just wonderful news,

    To have survived this surgery is a major hurdle your daughter has overcome.

    Lots of prayer and focusing on keeping her strong will be very important during the upcoming weeks as she will probably begin her chemotherapy treatments.

    But for now, praise God for bringing her and you through this .

    Angela had a dream last
    Angela had a dream last night. Some might call it a vision. God asked her to look at the wall across from her hospital bed. She looked and saw the bulletin board with some charts that are crooked, part of the window frame that has a smudge, and some places on the wall that need paint touchup. He told her, “That is because the world is not perfect.” Then he said, “Do you believe I can fix that?” Angela said, “Yes.” She saw each imperfection become “fixed” - the charts were straightened, the smudge was gone, the wall and the whole room became beautiful. God told her, “Even though I can fix you like that, I'm going to use others to get you better.” Angela looked out and saw the nurses doing their work.
    This is not a neat poem. Angela told me about it this morning and I told her I would share her dream with others.
    Angela's husband posted this on facebook. That very night, I was up in the middle of the night praying for Angela. I asked God to comfort her in her dreams. This was the very night she had this dream.
