After a follow-up visit with the surgeon yesterday, his words to me were to "eat, drink and be merry." I wasn't expecting to be off the hook this early but it couldn't be soon enough. Friday I’m leaving to go on a four day cruise to the Bahamas, and I was worried about not being able to enjoy it.
The doctor told me he was surprised by my speedy recovery as he ripped one of the bandages off of my stomach, revealing a tiny spec of a scar. He told me that the stitches are under the skin, and the other two bandages would need to stay on a bit longer to heal. I was expecting hideous scars, but I just might make it away with none.
My previous fears of not being able to swim or enjoy my coming of age were absolved by the visit. He told me I could pretty much do anything i wanted within good judgment. I'm just going to enjoy my vacation and forget about this whole ordeal while relaxing in the Bahamas.

Thats awesome you got well enough to enjoy the cruise. How was it? I've always wanted to go on one. I love going to the doctors and getting good news. Just think everything happens for a reason, you could have had this stomach problem on the cruise.
