UPDATE FROM TY: Hi All. Tom Fioretti called me today and advised me that folks are still going on Caring Bridge interested in updates on my condition. Happy to keep up this mode of communication if folks want it. 

I have now been home in recovery mode for 9 days, total of almost 4 weeks to the day since the operation. Home recovery proceeding more or less as expected with me getting stronger every day and eating a bit more. Mostly on Full Liquid (think shakes, yogurt, ice cream) but increasing venturing into real food in very small steps. Still get fatigued compared to pre-illness but slightly less so everyday. Home recovery is supposed to last about 6 weeks so it seems I am on target. Have my first post hospital doctor's appt on Friday then my first chemo doctor visit next week. (Chemo likely to begin in January). Will keep you advised and thank-you all for caring about me. I cannot tell you how much your prayers and communications have meant to me. It is truly wonderful and I thank-you.

In closing, I want to thank you all for recognizing the truly magnificant work and posts done by Jane on this site. I have always know how truly amazing and one of a kind Jane is (how she choose me is anyone's guess) but now you know too! Her patience, caring and love throughout these last two months is beyond anyone's reasonable expectations and I am reminded how for reasons yet unknown I have been blessed by it and by her.

Love, Ty

P.S.  This is a journal entry which is the same as a "comment" I made earlier today.  I found out that a journey entry is the correct method of communication as a co-author (with Jane) on this site.
