Ginger,

I am so glad to hear that everything is going well. I have been thinking of you guys constantly since Friday morning. I know surgery being over is such a relief. It will be for us. With Ron's surgery postponed until 9/24/07 we are now waiting longer, which is wearing on both of us. The waiting is horrible. I will give Ron your email to read. Since our husbands are both the same age and have both had major heart attacks your report will help him relax and be more confident of the future. I am also feeling better hearing your news. They did Ron's preop last week even though surgery was delayed and it's made me feel even more confident than before in choosing Dr. Dinney and MD Anderson Cancer Center. They were very thorough and helpful. I will continue to pray for Gene's quick recovery and look forward to hearing more on how is he progressing.

I would also like to thank everyone on this site who helped with the many questions I've had. It was very appreciated during a time that has been so stressful.

Well Ginger glad to hear Gene is ok I told you they you get him out of bed and walking as soon as they can. One of the reasons is they get you moving the better it is for Gene. Also by moving just getting up and sitting in the chair and a walk down the hallway a couple times a day will get them bowels moving and that is the key with this surgery. Move them bowels and everything else starts moving along the diet, the IV's, and getting back on oral meds and getting closer to getting them feet out the door. Good Luck Ginger & Gene, Joe ;)

FRIENDS....WELL ITS DAY 2, I CAN'T BE HAPPIER, EXCEPT FOR MAJOR HICCUPS GENE IS DOING GREAT. OF COURSE HE IS STILL HOOKED UP TO ALL THE STUFF BUT HE HAS WALKED THE HALLS TODAY. HE MUST DO IT 4 TIMES . YESTERDAY 1RST DAY AFTER HE SAT UP 3 TIMES, STOOD UP TWICE, AND BEFORE BED HE WALKED TO THE NURSES STATION...UNBELIEVEABLE...I AM SO PROUD OF HIM. LAST NIGHT THE STOMA NURSE WAS IN, SHE CHANGED HIS BANDAGES, AND SHE WENT OVER THINGS WITH HIM. THE NURSES HERE ARE WONDERFUL.
I WON'T GO INTO DETAILS THAT DON'T MATTER, MY MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE IS, TRUST YOUR DOCTORS AND THE FACILITY YOU HAVE CHOOSEN,, INFO BY PAT AND WENDY AND ZACK TO ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN. BELIEVE ME THEY ARE RIGHT. THANKS ALL!!!
pray everything progresses as it has....darlene, i am serious, it will be okay, please read my message to your husband..CLEVELAND CLINIC IS AWESOME!!!!
