That seems like a nice, quick turnaround!
Good deal! The quick turnaround on the surgery was because when they did the biopsy on Friday night, they perforated his colon which caused intense pain and fever. They had to operate ASAP in order to stop sepsis infection. Unfortunately, due to this he has to have the bag. He was disappointed about that but he said he doesn't care what they have to do as long as they get rid of that pain. If you know my Dad, you would know that when he says something hurts, he's in A LOT of pain. The surgeon told us he's been a sick, sick man for a long time. Stubborn fart had to make sure Mom was ok with her health issues before thinking of himself, ya know...

Quick update before I leave work and head up to the hospital.
LONG story short:
Good news is, the cancer was contained to the colon and did not spread to the small bowel. 29 lymph node's that were checked came back clean.
Bad news is, he has two types of bacteria in his blood from the colon leak. One in which they have identified and other they could not. They sent it to Mayo clinic to get a positive ID so they would know how to treat it.
I just got word this morning that Mayo can't ID it either.
I'm heading up there now to see if I can talk to his infectious disease doctor and find out how potentially serious this is.
I need to get him out of that hospital ASAP. He's is going stir crazy and is getting depressed and anxious. They put him in a chair at 6:30 am and he sits there all day. The chair has alarms on it so he can't try to get up by himself, so every time he even tries to adjust his sitting position they go off.
We have been trying to get him into a TCF with no luck so far. I'm hoping to MAKE that happen today.

Thats good news. That generation and the generations before seem to have a high tolerance of pain. Lucky they caught the sepsis in time That seems like a nice, quick turnaround!
