Colleen just got a call from her GI specialist a few minutes ago -- he's looked at the fistulagram from Friday, and she's CURED! The first thing she asked for, unsurprisingly, was a cup of tea.

There will, of course, be a considerable round of follow-up appointments and pickups -- Apria has to pick up their pump, she has to get the ostomy bag off and the PICC line out, ...

But she's home, she's healthy, and she can EAT. And, because we don't have to keep her housebound to satisfy the home nursing bureaucracy, she can run her own errands! And there's room in the fridge because we won't have to store a week's worth of swill TPN supplies.

Happy, happy Bear. Happy, happy Cat.

And by the way... I'd just like to say how grateful I am -- we both are -- for all of you out there, your support and your good wishes. I don't think either of us could have gotten through the last month without your help. Thank you!
