Ah fun. Yes I have the ribcage zipper too, it slowed my recovery a little but after a couple of weeks I stopped noticing it. Sit-ups still aren’t my favourite exercise though

Re: Liver resection scheduled!!
Amy,
I can’t wait for you to kill that Dick. Will you do HAI? Have you thought about that Cimetidine before and after to prevent recurrence? Get it out!!! Open your eyes after surgery and say NED!

Oooh. Thanks for posting it! I like it. I hope the scar isn't too disruptive, but if it is, I hope you find something else you want to do either with it or elsewhere on your body.

Great tatt - you know you might almost get away with it, the scar should roughly follow just below your bottom rib line on the right-hand side.... gonna be close!

Re: Liver resection scheduled!!
Man this resection is kicking my ass!!! I wish I would have worked out more before my surgery. Maybe you’ll learn from my mistake! I literally had to sit down in the midst of getting ready this morning because I was so winded. I also just found out I lost 7 lbs since I’ve gotten here. Just zero appetite. Ugh!

Re: Liver resection scheduled!!
Ooh, I should probably do more than sit in this rocker holding a sleeping baby!!
I have several half marathons at the end of the year, I really hope I'm able to do them. If not, there's always next year.
Edit: just got confirmation that I have no more chemo until after resection!! Hot f'ing damn I'm thrilled for a break! I'm sure a little beer isn't going to hurt my liver.
