YEEEHAW!! Got the staples out this AM, and man-o-man does it feel good. My incision was healing really well, but my skin was really wanting those metal staples out and they were very stingy and itchy around them. And, yes, when he removed them he said "lemme go get my staple remover". It struck me as funny for some reason.
Also, on another up note- the Doc told me that I didn't need to abide by that 'cancer' diet so much in this recovery phase, as it's most important that I'm getting TONS of protien to heal, and he said a few steaks and such until chemo certainly will not cause cancer to form. SO, we rejoice in the basking glow of meat, and are giddy to go have some gluttonous lunch today (did I just hear myself think "cheesesteak"?). He did say that the 'cancer' diet will be beneficial when chemo begins, but be sure to work with our oncologist on that one, as new colon cancer meds can be affected by too many antioxidants and other things, and that there are differing opinions on EXACTLY what is the pefect cancer diet. Good to know.
