I’m home!
I definitely thought I’d be one of those people who wanted to stay in the hands of medical professionals for as long as possible but here I am, savoring the quiet and privacy of home.
Thanks for your kind tweets and such. I don’t have much to share right now as the pathology report will take time (update on that here). But I did want you to know that I am managing well and being cared for by friends and family.
For the not-squeamish, there are two pics below (including one of the actual tumor). If you are squeamish, do NOT keep scrolling.
And now, the big kahuna.
16 cm long, more than 2 lbs
Looks like a Chipotle burrito made of pork, IMO.
Wow! That’s crazy – did you ask them to take a photo of it for you? So glad procedure if over with and you are resting comfortably:)
I asked if they’d be taking a pic (figured that was a sure thing) and said I wanted to see it. Surgeon texted it to me when I asked post op.
Now that is a heck of a way to lose weight – big assed growth. Glad all went as well as could be expected.Eagerly await the results. Get well soon OC.
Love your writing! get well soon!
