Clem is no longer packing

Here we are again. Different room but same stuff different day. It was a long day too. The surgery started at 12:30, finished around 3:30, and we got into a room at 8:00. It was a busy day on the surgery floor. The Doctor reported a successful mission and Clem no longer has an extra orifice protruding from his side. I for one am thrilled. I am pretty sick of people looking at us every time that thing "went off". Clem would always look at me like I was the one that had just farted and I couldn't help but look guilty.

It finally feels like we are on the home stretch at last. This is the last surgery with the exception of the port-a-cath removal which the Doctor said he would do in the office. Chemo will be over right around his birthday on September 9th.

Clem is nauseated and throwing up again tonight but not nearly as bad as before. Tomorrow we will get up and start walking the halls again attempting to revive his intestines from the shock. We are hoping to be back at home by Sunday.
