Six Week Check Up!

Today was my first follow-up visit with my surgeon in Burlington (Vermont, I’m in New York). I’ve been waiting for today on two levels: finding out how I’m doing and if any of my restrictions can be listed, and a chance to talk to The Man (I love my surgeon so much — Dr. Neil Hyman, MD. He’s one of the kindest, most awesome doctors I’ve ever had, and he’s one of the top 1% in the country for gastrointestinal surgeries.) and The Woman (my equally awesome WOCN) about my belly, wound, and stoma. It was also my first adventure away from home that involved more than just the 15 minute drive into Plattsburgh to the hospital doctors’ offices.
