Back to the surgeon today for my post-op follow-up. My GI's trailing a little, for obvious reasons, but in general my recovery is fine. Unfortunately, last night I had a major blowout on sleep, spending almost three hours awake in the middle of the night. I did not take drugs though, just rode it out. I feel like hammered crap this morning, and skipped exercise in favor of a bit more sleep, which is a choice I almost never make. Hopefully calendula_witch and I can walk this afternoon.

This is a rare oncology appointment in that I expect only good news. We'll look at my surgical wounds, discuss my functionality, and go over the "Jay doesn't need another round of chemo right now" pathology report. Ah, magic pathology report. So far as I know, I'll walk out of the clinic today a free man.

Free for now, at any rate. Until the next round of scans, and the round after that, and...
