Apparently he came through the operation well and is doing fine... she went back two more times throughout her shift but he was sleeping... In any case I figured you'd all appreciate an update... Boyd will tell you more when he gets out I'm sure... Get well soon, Boyd!  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Best to you Boyd.

So after visiting our new addition, we stopped in to see Boyd. Apparently everything went well. He is being discharged today ( Monday ), but needs to take it easy for a few weeks.

I'm glad Celine happened to be working the days you were in so she could come in, visit with you and see how you were doing... Congrats on the successful operation... now the hard part, not lifting anything heavy for a few weeks... I had a hell of a time obeying doctor's orders when they asked me to do that but luckily ended up recovering despite myself...  Best of luck on a speedy recovery from both of us! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | will you need to have chemo?

Glad to hear you don't need further treatment.
