I'm home

Well I'm home from the hospital and I fee like crap.  But I think it is slowly getting better.

Walking, sipping and taking the meds they gave me.  I still feel like I'm bloated all the way up to my throat.

 

Thaks for all the emails and notes of support

Hey Scott.   Glad everything went well man.   Just keep telling yourself that it will be better tomorrow because I promise it will be.   Every passing day will be better than the day before and before you know it you'll be off the painfully tortoureous liquid diet and graduate to the soft foods.

Congrats man and best of luck on your journey from here on out!

Glad to hear you are home on the mend. Take it easy for a while yet. These first weeks can suk. Rest when you can, Keep sipping water, walk little distances, often. And know that it does get way easier soon. Best Wishes- Dx

You posted here a long time as a non-op. Congrats on finally getting it done and best of luck. You've had the fortune of seeing others through it,, which will help, but there are still battles to be fought.

Good luck on the sipping and walking and hope the pain and bloating goes away soon.

Best Wishes,

Dave

The walking will help the pain and bloating.  If you felt like me, eating was the farthest thing from your mind and it was an effort to get in the minimums.  I ate ice to get in the fluids and it helps with the need to chew.  Next week this time you will be laffing (gingerly) about this week. Still waiting for the hospital war stories when you feel better than crap. Enjoy the pain meds while you can,....you won't have them long.

Welcome home!  Glad to hear things went well.  As was said before here.  It does get better.  You'll get through the next few weeks and once the FARTs start, just hang on for the ride. Brian

Welcome to the bench. Each day gets a little better all the way for the rest of your life.

Glad you are home.  Keep doing as the doctor says..........sipping and walking!!!!  Hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!!  Nice to have another friend on the Loser's Bench!!
