Post surgery meeting with doctor

As previously stated in this blog, Marty has an excellent and very attentive group of doctors caring for him. His primary care physician, general surgeon, urologist and oncologist are all smart, personable and deeply committed to Marty's health and well being. We are grateful for the skill and dedication all of them bring to Marty's care.

We met with his surgeon today for a post-surgery discussion and examination. Marty's incision looks good and is healing well. The nerve damage (affecting his leg) that occurred during surgical removal of extensive scar tissue should resolve in time, according to Dr. Froines, and Marty's digestion is also likely to have continued improvement. Dr. Froines encouraged daily activities within limits of comfort, but no weight bearing for at least a couple weeks.

We came home for a celebratory lunch time snack. We celebrate 21 years together today, and will cook an appropriately festive dinner to share this evening. The best part is that Marty will be able to eat a tasty meal without painful consequences!
