Back from the hospital
Hey everybody!! I just got back from the hospital around 3:30 today. The surgery went well. I am a little sore but mostly just tired from the lack of sleep in the hospital. I am up to about 60 oz of fluid as of 10:15. I will try to sneak in the last four ounces. I got really tired around dinnertime and had to take a nap. I spent a lot of time walking in the hospital, They called me the Hall Patrol. They had me on the orthopedic wing so by Sunday night it was pretty empty. I had some really cool nurses and aids who were very encouraging. I am thrilled to be on the Loser's Bench finally
AWESOME!! Keep up on the "hall patrol" while at home - it will be INVALUABLE to your healing. Sipping sipping sipping and walking walking walking are definately important! Kudos on the fluids - not many are able to get it in early out.
Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
So glad to hear that you're doing so well. The tiredness is completely expected - and naps are strongly encouraged early out. Helps you heal! And good for you on the walking! Keep it up and start adding a bit more distance or speed each time you go - before you know it, you'll have a good exercise program going!
