on the way back
I am home after three weeks in the hospital. One week for surgery, two in a rehab unit. The surgery to move my stomach attachment and improve absorption was unsuccessful. They got in and there was no room for manuvering. Instead I will have to control the problem through medication and diet.
I am at 4 percent muscle capacity in my quads (legs) which makes it hard to walk and stand. Physical therapy has helped and I will be continuing daily with outpatient therapy. It has been discouraging but at least now I feel like I'm on my way back to life! Actually cooked for my family last night - only chili but I haven't done anything since May. On the good side - I'm down 130 pounds.
