Okay it is a tumor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But not a cancerous one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pathology report said a lot of things I didn’t understand but basically… it’s not malignant and I am fine. The biopsy from my stomach was also negative. So I guess I just have a troublesome liver and a fussy stomach? I dunno. Maybe it’s all the garbage food I am constantly shoveling in my mouth? Nah probably not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recovery has kinda sucked. I’ve never had surgery like this before. There’s a general soreness, but it’s not that. it’s the gas, you see. Cause they pumped me full of a bunch of air, to make room for the surgeon to see and maneuver around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that air takes several days to work its way out, and holy moley is it uncomfortable. It’s mostly all gone now, but a little bit still lingers. I feel it in my upper chest and shoulder, especially when I take a deep breath or lay on my side. It’s getting better though. And it’s all perfectly normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cancer does not run in my family (lots of other health issues but not that). And I was never really worried that it was cancer. But you know, I’m old and this is when bad health things start happening. so I did have a little bit of concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I’m fine and I got some good painkillers, so it all worked out in the end. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
