happy to be home

I am so happy to be in my own home, in front of my own TV, welcomed by the cat, etc. I feel very strange, but definitely don't feel any pain, so I'm content with this. I know I need to get into a routine with drinking  and walking. I am going out for about 2 hours tomorrow, and I think that will help.  I will be sitting for the most part, and not walking more than  a few feet at a time.  One thing I have to get taken care of is to pick up my scripts. I didn't bring any checks, cash or credit cards to the hospital with me, as they suggested... well... now I have a bunch of meds that have to be picked up. I won't be able to get up there before they close today. If I need anything for pain tonight, I have liquid Tylenol. I only took a few shots of the Delauded in the hospital, and it was for a headache, not surgery pain. I got a headache in recovery, and it wouldn't go away. They finally gave me Torridol in my IV yesterday AM and it subsided. I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised at how good I feel. Dr. Moein was going to send me home last night, but the nurses didn't fax my scripts down in time.  Turns out it wouldn't have mattered anyhow.  But, I was encouraged by his determination of my progress! Thanks so much to Darla for stopping up to see me. Seeing a familiar, smiling face, and having her look even more amazing than the last time I saw her was so encouraging!  Thanks to everyone else for the messages of support. Woohoo, I have never been so happy to be a loser!

Kathy I am so glad that you are home.  You are doing wonderful.  You are on the bench now! Love Kristen

I am so glad you are home and on the loser's bench. The strangeness will wear off soon and you will get into a comfortable routine. HUGS to you.

Kathy welcome back and hope you have a wonderful time losing! I love your new signature by the way.  Ellie

Kathy- Welcome home. Glad to see you are doing so well. I have had you in my prayers. Do you have a way to get those filled? If you need a ride I would be happy to help you. Just let me know.

Thanks so much Dee. My girlfriend is picking me up later this morning to pick up meds, and we are going to a fashion show where I work. It's all toddlers in holiday clothes, how cute will that be? I figure it will be good to get out of the house, because I am really bored. Those of you with kids to keep you company might not realize it when they are particularly needy, but they are a good distraction at a time like this.

So glad you are home, it feels good doesn't it? Rest and take care, I am sure we will be feeling better soon! Hugs Amy
