September 24, 2007
Although I have been home since last Monday. This is the first entry I have made on my computer. I has been 25 difficult days where there have been a few complications. It appears that I am now on the mend and making progress each day, although I am still very weak and sleep a lot. Slow and study wins the race. The good news is that the cancer is all gone and I do not have to have any further treatment. I have had to deal with infection in the incision and a large haematoma in my abdomen. I will have a drain in my side until Friday, September 28 and have Home Care coming each day to change the dressing on my abdomen where the incision is still open. It has been through the help of my beloved wife and loving children that I have been able to come this far. I wonder how those who do not have a large network of support make it through this kind of thing.
None the less, God is in control.
Under His wings and in His care
Rick
