So this Tuesday they went in with robotics surgery and removed the tumor and part of my stomach. I have four holes in my belly healing now. Liquid diet for a week, then soft food. Pretty sore this morning, they give you an injection for pain in the belly that lasts for three days, I think it wore off last night. Four weeks of 15 lb weight restriction, hopefully I'm done for a while! Lol

I think the hole they took the tumor and part of the stomach out hurts the most. Feels a little better today. Good thing I don't have a cough, a single cough is really painful. In my chamber right now, to help it heal faster. To prepare for surgery I had to quit the warfarin, inject like a heparin in my belly twice a day. The instructions say pinch up some belly and put the needle in, I found it's much better to just push needle in and slowly push blood thinner it. Where I pinched it like the instructions say I got big bruises and a lump under the sky n, the incision that hurts the most is right on a bruise with a lump from the injection

Two weeks of soft food before regular food. I did my weekly cleaning job yesterday, so glad when I locked the door to leave, it was my limit. I think I'm good enough I don't need any more pain pills
