Just keep thinking of all the jig fish you're going to stick after all this is over! Take care Jiggin and keep your positive attitude and you will be fine! Please keep us posted on your recovery!
			
			
									
									
						Re: Tomorrow the big day
Jiggin, in my opinion you are going to the right place to cure you because Stanford is about as good as it gets. My wife trained there and it’s 1st class.  Make sure you don’t forget to appreciate the nurses, bud.  We’ll all be rooting for you.

Re: Tomorrow the big day
I have just my feeding tube left I'll keep it for two more months they took me to X-ray I did a leak down test and I passed no leakes from the surgery i started on some fluids water and apple juice it will increase today. I had both nose tube and chest tube right side removed and I'm feeling pretty good the doctors and there staff and the nurses and all there staff have been so nice to me this hole time. And all the family support that's been here around me this hole time it's been wonderful. Stanford medical center will always been in my heart forever. My wife is shock I've been so nice and not been grouchy to and body.

Re: Tomorrow the big day
When I went through chemo over 20 years ago I learned the chemo nurses are the sweetest nurses ever. They would sit and talk with me for hours. Not a crab apple in the bunch.jiggin4bass wrote: ↑Tue Apr 01, 2025 9:45 am I have just my feeding tube left I'll keep it for two more months they took me to X-ray I did a leak down test and I passed no leakes from the surgery i started on some fluids water and apple juice it will increase today.
