Something you never want to see on a scan of your wife's lung

Hi Guys. finally made it home to try and catch a few zzz's and get back in the morning. I'll be brief cause i'm kinda exhausted. The surgery ended up being 5 1/2hrs. Spoke to the surgeon right after and he was thrilled with the results. First op down along the esophogus showed all clean lymph nodes:thumrigh:. The major op for the lobe removal was also sucessful although he did remove and restructure part of the broncus. Bottom line is, he feels she is now cancer free. Now comes the painful recovery part. She's on about 5 drips with multiple pain killers, fluids, antibiotics and some kind of booster button she can push when the pain is extreme. Also the chest tubes for air & fluid drainage are connected to a box that allows a visual and measurement of what comes out. There is also these sleeves on her lower legs conected to a electric compressor to prevent fluid buildup and clots while her mobility is limited and a catheter. With that said, this afternoon they got her up and she was able to walk behind a wheelchair down the hall a bit. Very painful but a good sign only 24 hours out.....I said i'd be brief....lol.

Anyway, just want to give props to the power of the FABO family for all the prayers, thoughts and help that all of you provide. Sadly, we can't save everyone as a higher power clearly has other plans for some. But we have a pretty good track record and i plan to give all the support i can for anyone that needs it down the road. Thanks everyone, and i'll be back when i get a few moments.

Don't blame her one bit for being PO'd. What a sorry *** way to run a place. It's not like this is elective surgery or anything like that. BTW would the HR woman be named Dogbert. (lol) What's the name of this outfit so we can put it on the "Mr. Badguy" list of people not to patronize?

Thanks for the updates. Prayers continue.
