Once Again, No Surprises

Charlie is in recovery, and Dr. Jarnagin reported, as he did after the last surgery, that there were no surprises--no cancer in other parts of his abdomen, the left liver lobe looked as expected following the resection of seven weeks ago, and the removal of the right lobe went as planned. He will remain in recovery overnight--until perhaps 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning--as is standard with this type of operation. David and I will see him for a five or ten minute visit in another hour. Meanwhile, we are going to get some lunch.
