Docotor Visits.

After taking a few days to think about what his surgeon was saying Michael came around. He was finally ready to talk to me. He refused to talk to me for like two days. So stupid but he was in his own world, trying to process the information. I left him alone, I gave changed his dressings when he let me, I made him dinner and let him be. I was just as stubborn as him, he had made me mad. Thinking I would ever do anything to hurt him.

When he finally talked to me he wanted me to explain again, what the doctor had said. I did, with attitude because I was mad. He told me not to be stubborn, when you stop I told him I will too. He looked at me annoyed, why do you have to be like that?.. because you act like an ass sometimes I told him. Just because your sick does not  give you the right to take your anger and frustration out on me. I'm just trying to help you. Its not my fault.

In one ear out the other. He said well I get what the doctor said, so ill just go to the doctors office and get all the test done. He walked away. Made me feel like shit. ugh. Here I was doing everything in my power to keep him healthy, doing everything he asked me to do and he could even apologize for acting like an ass to me. He took me for granted. He didn't realize how much I was doing for him. I was disappointed in him, but as usual I let it go.

He had his first appointment to check his rectum , the doctor wanted to know if the colon he had left was still in good shape and make sure it was clean. No cancer or polyps. He wasn't happy to get that test done because of what in entailed. I made fun of the situation to lighten the mood, it worked. I had him laughing. I took him to the doctor, he came out laughing, I cant believe I just got something stuck up my ass. haha he was laughing. It not like its your first time I told him, you must be used to it. He looked at me and laughed, I will never get used to that shit he said. The results for that test would take a few days. His surgeon would call when he had results In the meantime he had to wait for the next test. We both were nervous to find out results. He needed that part of the colon to be good, in order for the reversal to happen.

So much depended on those results. Few days later we got the call from the surgeon , he had results and wanted to schedule and appointment. The next day we went in. He was so nervous. We took a deep breath and we walked in. The surgeon told him that the test showed that his colon was good, clean and it was long enough to be able to reconnect. We were so excited! This was great news! The reversal is happening he said!.. The doctor told him he still needed to get his colostomy checked and make sure that part of the colon was good, it was a step in the right direction though.

The doctor scheduled him to have a colonoscopy  in two weeks. From there depending on results he would schedule surgery first thing in February. Michael agreed, the doctor asked if he had any concerns. Michael said no, I said yes. I asked what was going to happen with the gallbladder, and he was starting to have some pains again , what do we do if pain starts up again and it gets bad? The doctor told him he had to deal with the pain, he would need to have a test done to see if he had stones in their or if it was an infection or cause from the pain.

Ok I said, that's all I  wanted to know. We had to wait for the other test, in the meantime Michael healed and let the toxins from the chemo completely leave his body. The calm came , we were happy but little did we know that the storm was coming.
