Thanks Guy's for your support!
Hopefully the pathology report is also positive and the staging is a low
number!
PS they pulled the  catheter out, along with the epideral for pain all
within 72 hours of her surgery.
She is pain free without any oral medication. I highly recommend minimially
invasive surgery with a highly
qualified surgeon who is past his learning curve...Dr Weiser at
Sloan-Kettering is an incredibly surgeon.
My Mom calls him Doctor Blue Eyes!!!

Hi Morgs,
I took mom home this morning, really unbelievable. She only spent 3 full
days in the hospital after surgery.
She is in no pain and independent already, cooking and doing her bills
today. I'm really amazed at her progress.
I was told by a couple of people to be prepared to look after her when she
comes home because she'll be incapacitated
for about three weeks. But their experience was with open surgery not
minimally invasive.
When the diagnosis of colon cancer was made 5 weeks ago it threw me into a
emotional rollercoaster.
I was fearing the worst with all these scenarios running thru my head. But I
faced the fear with my mom, did my research
and picked a great institution in Sloan-Kettering, a top notch surgeon in Dr
M Wesier of the colorectal department and I went with the Laproscopic
surgery.
Hope all is well with you and your husband.Things will work out for you.
Prayers for you
