Mary is Great!

Wednesday, July 5th
Mary is recovering great & walking around, even walking upstairs to go to bed. Mary is doing so well, her mom went home early.

Mary had 17 staples taken out. She sees Dr. Bartell again on Wednesday, then will be able to drive. She has just less than three weeks to go before returning to work. For the first time in eight years knowing Mary, she is actually doing nothing, being lazy, and relaxing more than an hour.

To see pictures of Mary's staples and tumor please click the link (Warning: this is a picture of Mary's tumor and Mary's stomach with staples, please proceed with caution): click here.

Mary is cleared by Dr. Bartell to drive now. The result of the tumor is non-cancer & weighed about 3 pounds – wow! Mary continues to surprise even Dr. Bartell on the quickness of recovery. Mary has a couple more weeks until returning full load at the store & will continue to enjoy time off recovering.


Monday, July 31st
Mary has completely recovered from surgery and is back to full load at the store and normal activities. We are blessed that this process is a complete success!
