Long day at the hospital - they took Garry at 9.15 and he didn't get into his room till 4.30 - guess they had to wait until a lady was discharged so he was in post op for quite awhile
He was very groggy when we saw him and was in some pain and the nurse had just given him a shot of morphine. Talked to the Dr. and he said all went as expected - Garry did lose more blood than they thought he would but not enough for a blood transfusion.
But the Dr. seemed very optimitic and said if all went well he could be home on Fri or Sat.
We are heading up to visit tomorrow morning and I will keep you posted if there are any changes or when he is going to come home.

Ron Gowing Recovering Well
Posted supplied by: Ronald Gowing
I am in the recovery stage from surgery done just before Christmas. I was given the news that I had cancer in early October. However the surgery went well and I now consider myself a cancer survivor. I have one more surgery ahead of me in mid March to put me back together again and after that it will be clear sailing. It was like winning the lottery when I was told I don't need Chemo or radiation.

Garry Alexander To Hospital
Posted by: Bill Bishop
Just a note to let you know that Garry Alexander (1958 to 1965) will be going into the hospital on January 25, 2012 for prostrate surgery.
He is in good spirits and is very positive in his outlook. I provide the following video as a way to 'put a smile' on his face during this trying time.
