Wow. Just wow.

You won't believe this, because we barely can: HE'S HOME! I know. Wow.

They performed a surgery that can only be used in very specific circumstances of colon cancer type and location; he has no external incision and no pain meds. Think about how science fiction that sounds: major colon cancer surgery with no external incision, very little pain, done in less than 2 hours, you get to eat immediately after, you go home the next day, and no restrictions on activity except to eat a low-fiber diet for the next week. It hardly sounds possible, does it?

He ate a leftover meatloaf sandwich when we got home and now he's stretched out in the recliner watching college football. Like it never happened. Wow.
