Six Weeks! Six weeks ago today, I was laying on an operating table having my large intestine removed. Actually, at this time six weeks ago, my intestine was probably already out and my doctor was in the process of building a pouch out of the end of my small intestine. It's crazy to me that you can go through something so major and be feeling this good in such a short time later.
It's definitely a testament to the skill of my doctor and his staff, and how far medical science has come in such a short period of time. That's also my 2nd organ removal in 2 years (gall bladder removed Mar '06), so I hope we're not seeing a trend. It was also my 6th surgery I believe, I had 3 surgeries in high school, reconstructive surgery on my hands after a car accident, and a "surgical procedure" to remove gall stones before the gall bladder removal. Don't I get a plaque or button or something soon?

In walking news, yesterday was raining a lot so I didn't get out there for the first 2 sets, but in the evening the rain had stopped so I got out there in the cold and walked a fast 2 miles.

Otherwise, not much new. I'm starting to think I need to organize this blog a little better. I seem to dump everything under "daily" which I'm not sure is all that helpful. I created another label called "hospital" which I'm hoping to put more details in about my stay in the hospital... stuff that might help other people should they be going through similar circumstances. I haven't filled that in yet though. Soon...
