Journal entry by Rusty Rea —
Staples came out today!
Thank you for all of the notes, cards, texts, financial gifts, meals, and support!!! Hopefully this is a final update. I got all 24 of my staples out today (I had 4 spots of 3 staples, then one big spot with 12).
The surgeon went over the pathology report and didn’t see anything concerning! The next steps are regular screening scans every 6 months.
The past two weeks have been bumpy, but as of today I am completely pain free with all movement! I am still on a 5lb weight restriction and will be off work for at least another month.
Thank you again for walking through this with our family- we have been EXTREMELY WELL LOVED!
