I had a good night. After seeing my surgeon I signed the release papers and was on my way. It was great to be home. My Mom stocked the fridge with snacks I was eating in the hospital.... puddings, popsicles, juice, ice cream and yogurt. To my surprise, my weight is 154 lbs. That is exactly what I weighed the night before surgery. I expected to lose a lot of weight. My surgeon said the average colon weighs about 6 pounds. I was prepared for a big loss when I stepped on the scale. I guess the constant snacking did the trick.
I am so glad you are home. You continue to amaze us all. We look forward to all of the good days ahead. We love you.

Hey Chris! April Herrin, I guess Shompers now, gave me the link to your blog. I am so glad that your surgery was a success and that you are back at home. I will try to stop by the next time I'm in Arlington. I hope you have a speedy recovery! xoxo
