Last week, I had a new trip to the Good Sam ER for a blood level going down (was around 6.8,) which was making me feel tired and goofy eyed... So Ki and I decided to preempt another ride in the ambulance and checked into the ER.
After a consultation with a wide variety of specialists, we decided to remove my stomach which had quite a few unresectable bleeding tumors. Rather than keep bleeding, this felt like the most advantageous way to extend my time. While performing the surgery, my primary surgeon discovered a few undiscovered tumors in the upper intestines, and as we'd discussed prior to the surgery, he removed what he found.
I've now been recovering in the hospital since Tuesday 11/24. It's been quite painful, and my diet will be adjusted multiple times in the coming months. Besides smaller and more frequent meals. This morning I'm being a test monkey with a powder you mix with a variety of liquids. It's called Juvens and is a bit Tang-like, and it so far rates 4 out of 5, it's best mixed well with cold water.
The adjustment of diet plus healing will be a real interesting period for me. At least I'm not having serious issues in my 3 x daily walks and using the breathing tools, rather both are improving. I'll might be discharged on Friday, but more likely on Monday.
