Some glitches in progress

We all want Marty to feel much better and more consistently better every day all the time for the very long term. That's why Marty and I opted for surgery. And although his condition is improved from that previous to surgery, this is not yet a breezy easy free pass to renewed health and ease. Does anyone get the breezy easy pass ever? Unlikely, it seems, given nearly universal evidence to the contrary.

Intestinal discomfort continues, although not to the level of previous distress. I guess we had hoped it would all go away, and now we are very sadly disappointed. In any case, we hope that discomforts indicate his gut is in process of healing and readjusting. And while we cling to these random hopes, we will call the surgeon and quiz him endlessly.
