Surgery is done.  In the recovery area at 4 am.  I had some issues.  I was told it was very likely the entire surgery could be done by laparoscopy but they had to open me.  They told me I  had a low chance that I would need an ileostomy.  But I awoke and had a little friend I did not want. Surgery was longer than expected as the intraoperative radiation took longer than expected.  That noise you heard is my stoma and it sings all the time.  I do like my PCA pump.  No epidural though.  Pain not as bad as my last surgery.  During my prep I did puke and rally.  The surgeon was however happy with the surgery.  My liver enzymes are higher and it is a little concerning.  Signing off the hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is winning.  Back to sleep.
