Well, I got home yesterday around 4:30. I got my daughter to stop at the local pharmacy to fill my pain meds and of course they didn't have any, so she dropped me off and went to Damariscotta to get it filled. I don't know why I bothered with the drug store here.

Anyway, I had an uneventful evening with just a little pain, but well tolerated. I am up today and moving around well. I have lots of gas and don't dare to pass any unless I get to the bathroom first!

lol, just don't trust anything else from passing! The hospital staff were excellent! I couldn't have asked for any better care.

I am finally on my way. I forgot to weigh in Monday AM but Sunday AM started out at 226 pounds. I weighed in this AM and was.....you guessed it.....226 pounds! I guess it is all the gas I still have to pass that has kept me at the same weight as I have had nothing but liquids for 2 weeks now. I have patience, so will wait until I heal to start looking for any substantial weight to come off. It's time for me to get a nap in now, so will read a few more posts and lay down. Thank you for all your encouragement!

I did that too. I was actually puffy from all the IV fluids. You'll notice a big change in just a couple of days. Glad you're home and feeling good.

I'm VERY proud of you!!!!
