…I am NOT going back to that hospital again! Got home Monday night around 5:30 pm, feeling unbelievably weak but happy to be home. Still not eating very well (to say the least!) but other bodily functions are starting to work. I just need to take it reeeaaal slow with the eating and drinking part…which I tend to forget.

Biggest problem has been the postoperative vomiting. Just when I think everything is good, something comes back up. Very frustrating. I’m going to try spending a lot of time walking around the yard tomorrow. Everything I’ve read seems to indicate that walking is the best recovery activity. It was just very difficult in the hospital while lugging around the ‘meals on wheels’ IV tube carrier. And I expect to be able to consume foods that are far more palatable at home than the hospital fare. Why does hospital food have to taste so foul?!

So now back to bed (it’s 3:45 am!). I slept for almost 4 hours; here’s hoping for another 3-4.
