Describe Kim's Mesothelioma Surgery and Recovery Process?

The surgery, first of all, was very difficult and complicated, and it was an all day surgery. Going into the surgery, Kim had a lot of faith that she would make it through. And she had a lot of faith in her surge and doctor Cameron. She really trusted him. She really believed in him. She really knew that she was in great hands with him. She knew that she would come through this procedure and that she would survive it she would recover from it. The hospital staff there were fantastic. They were so attentive. They were so loving, so supportive, so encouraging that she really was in great hands there. Kim's background is that she's a registered nurse, and I really think that that helped her through this whole process as well. Because when anybody spoke to her medically about what to expect or what she was gonna be going through, She really already had a really broad knowledge of the procedures. She knew what they were talking about. She knew what their recovery would pretty much be like for her. There were many times when she was recovering in the hospital that she did really well. She was able to gather her strength. She was able to get out of bed. She was able to go on some walks with some assist ins initially. And then later on as her strength felt, she was able to, you know, walk down the halls on her own. And then there were difficult times. The most difficult part of her procedure, I think, with some of the things that she had to do and her recovery. One of the things that doctor Cameron asked her to do was to lean over the cable. It was something that he wanted her to do a couple times a day. And so she would literally take a pillow, put it on the little table and lean over, and it was very difficult for her to do. I mean, I would try to talk to her, sidetracked her, joke around with her, and give her the countdown on how many more minutes seconds, just whatever it her through it. Then there was a nausea. That was really bad. There was times that she just was so nauseous and so sick feeling that, it was very difficult. It was difficult for her. It was difficult. See her to go through that. She had what we call the smelly stick. It was actually the stick that was designed for people going through nausea symptoms. And he literally twisted it. And one of us either I would hold it under her nose she would hold it herself and just try some deep breathing and inhale from this stick to release them in the non and just to help her relax. I knew going into this that Kim would recover that she would make it through this. Kim is very strong. She's a resilient. She had a will to live. And I think really for her, that was critical. And so even when things got tough, I always knew that she could make it through. And there was a lot of times it was just one fit in front of the other just one treatment, just one, you know, walk down the hall, one, you know, wave of nausea to get through. It was just kind of the process. And she got stronger as her incisions started to heal, and she was getting out of bed and able to do more.
