Jon was out of surgery and back in his room by 1:30. He was in good spirits and ate a large lunch immediately. He asked the anesthesiologist to give him the minimal amount of anesthesia so he was awake and alert when he got here. The only drawback is that he is much more aware of his pain level now. The nurse just gave him two oxycodone so he should be feeling better in about 30 minutes.

The surgeon opted to treat the left lobe of his liver rather then repeat the right one. We will ask for more details when we see him tonight, but we're assuming its to give the right lobe a little more healing time.
