Re: Stage 2 Kidney Cancer and Cataracts
My wife has two sayings that kinda conflict with each other.
“The pain will pass”
“Why have pain if medication is available”
Hmmmm
I’m sure you are embracing number two.
So I say, “the pain will pass with the proper medication.”

Re: Stage 2 Kidney Cancer and Cataracts
Thanks. It’s amazing how much better I feel now. Most of the pain is gone and I can walk unassisted. I’ll be discharged tomorrow.

Re: Stage 2 Kidney Cancer and Cataracts
I’m home and feeling really good. I can’t lift much but I can walk up to five miles a day. Plus I can do stairs. Now it’s just 4-6 weeks of getting my strength back. If I can make it 30 days without an infection my life expectancy goes back to normal.
Look for a range report later today.

Re: Stage 2 Kidney Cancer and Cataracts
Congratulations. Can you drive? It is a large relief to be HOME and out of the hospital environment, I know. Try not to do too much and I hope you get back to best health soon.

Re: Stage 2 Kidney Cancer and Cataracts
Yes I can drive if I’m not taking Oxy. They only last four hours and I’m only taking two a day one morning and one night instead of two every four hours. So even though I can drive I don’t need to go anywhere today.
I took my first real shower in six days and gave myself a full visual examination. I feel good and am not in pain but I look quite torn up with incisions and needle pokes. I’m bruised all over.

Did they take more of the Kidney than you expected?

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Stage 2 Kidney Cancer and Cataracts
Yes they took about 40%. The tumor was larger than expected and took 5.5 hours. I had a team of three doctors who each worked in half hour shifts while the other time assisting. They told me there was a total of twelve people in the room. That number included two lab technicians that were examining the tissue as they cut it out. I was awake when they wheeled me in and the room was huge with people running around getting ready.
Awakening in recovery was about the same. The wing had 18 beds and there were about two dozen RNs, CNAs and people at computers organizing everything.
I went into AFib and they called in three heart specialists who where there within minutes. I’m now on a med to slow my heart and I’m being monitored live via satellite. In a couple weeks I’ll go off the slowing med and go on a blood thinner.
Yes I’m very beat up but doing great.
