So, she's out of surgery and all went well. (Thank goodness!) He was able to complete the connections in one stage and avoid installing (I know that's not the right term, but it fits) an ileostomy bag...she'll be thrilled! The surgeon said that, in the process of removing her colon, he didn't like the looks of her gallbladder and yanked it out.
I don't know what Caren will be more excited about, the fact that she doesn't have a bag or the fact that she got the deal of the century on her surgery: she had her colon, her appendix and her gallbladder removed all for one low price! A Goldstein, at a Jewish hospital, getting a unannounced bargain...oy vey!
That's awesome and yes, she will be thrilled about the 1 step. As soon as I woke up from my surgery my first question was whether or not I had a bag...who wants that...ick! Seth, your updates are hilarious...keep them coming!
