First of all, I am zonked!  Have slept this entire day.  May I use this
opportunity to thank everyone for their kind words of thoughtfulness.  If I
can get to them individually, surely I will, but I just want each of you to
know your messages mean so much to me.

Now, I have the surgical report - the full, correct one - from Jim to send
to you:

"The surgeon cut 3 holes in my tummy (one of them looks like a second belly
button) and inserted the laparoscopic cameras.  He saw something that he
doesn't know what it is, i.e., a mass, an infected area, etc.  The other
doctors didn't know what it was either.  He stopped the surgery at that
point because he said that if he gone any further, he could not have
stopped.  And, if it was some kind of infection, he could spread it and
cause a lot of problems.  They showed it to Pathology - they didn't know
what it was, but didn't think it was anything cancerous - they are testing
it.  I will have a CT scan, and see the doctor in about a week.  Hopefully,
by then they will have figured out what it is and how to treat it.  Then he
will know about re-scheduling my prostate surgery.

I am very sore and weak.  I have had some problems with nausea, but I am now
able to eat some soup, crackers, and applesauce.  I will be staying with Jim
and Donnie for 2 or 3 days.  Donnie is taking really good care of me.  Their
cat Felix has stuck with me since I got here - he goes where I go - he slept
with me last night."

Now, you know as much as I do.  *s*

Till later
Billie
