Meeting with Mr Big (Take Two)

This is so sad...  I wrote a fairly lengthy update about today's visit with the surgeon.  It was posted and then auto deleted.  It was quite long but  also fun, informative and now... gone.

So here is the less-fun, less-informative version.

Yvonne was examined by the surgeon today and he said all is well.  He heard Yvonne's concerns re the discharge and abdominal pain and felt this was normal given the complex surgery.  So he ordered a CT scan that showed some pockets of fluid trapped just below the skin. All normal and should be gone in a few more weeks.

He stressed that this surgery was not like her first or second transplants and she should not expect to be back to normal as quickly.  He is saying 8-12 weeks. Wow.
