Thanks for the encouragement. Other friends and family who have been through this keep telling me to be patient... takes about a year. Aside from the abdominal pain, I am doing well and feel better every day. Just getting a little antsy (maybe it's the weather).

I guess I expect too much from modern medicine; but then, this was my first major surgery since 1956.
