7:30 Monday morning liver resection

Well, in my continuing saga, I will undergo a liver resection this coming Monday morning in Chicago at NWMH. The surgery will last about 4-5 hours followed by recovery. Followed by 3-4 days in the hospital. As long as there are no complications. : ) That's where 'the Stephen' comes in...I don't seem to do anything the predicted way.

I will hole up at the Naperville apartment for 3-4 days after hospital release just to be close and I get an all clear to go home. Once cleared I will go home to Edwardsville for 3-4 weeks of recuperation. Complete downtime. Lots of sleep, Jonah, and hopefully some sun!

I am aiming to ride my Harley to the family reunion. That's my goal! : )

Please pray for me and Karen. And Kristen and Nathan. It's a stressful time for us all.

Happy thoughts to you, Karen and everyone. I hope you will be back on the Harley BEFORE the family reunion. :)
