Home after successful liver resection!!
Hi Everyone~
Jessica here...I'm home after a very successful Right Hepactectomy & a short 5 days in the hospital!!! So glad to be home & feeling quite well...though my head's not completely together yet...
So just a quick note for now, & since I missed celebrating Christmas (well, I guess I did get a really great gift, but the hospital food was hardly celebratory!)wising everyone the Happiest of Holidays! I am So looking into ringing in the New Year & celebrating many many many many more to come with all of you!
Keep the Faith,
Jessica
