Just wanted to give an update on where Lisa is at on her recovery. Things are going along pretty well, we did a quick trip to San Diego on Wed. to see Dr. Lowy and he is pretty pleased with her recovery so far. He removed one of the drains in her abdomen, the one for infection, yet had to leave the one that drains the area where part of her Liver used to be. It has slowed down to half of what it was, but he wants it to completely stop before he feels comfortable removing it. On another note, her energy level is higher than I have seen it in over a year, and her dependence on pain meds has decreased quite a bit, but not to the point of being comfortable with changing the regimen too much. All in all, the operation was a tremendous success in my book and leaves me hopeful going on with her battle with this effing disease that I am going to have many more years with the love of my life by my side. We will be going down to see Dr. Lowy again hopefully in about a month. Our plan right now is when all of our aches and pains have subsided enough, we are going to go a travelin'! Stay strong Mike
