Glad you are home and that it all went well. Would you mind sharing what complications you had (or you can pm me)?

Thank you all for your kind wishes. The minor complication I had was a very irritated throat with little to no voice. Not sure of the cause, it could have been because of the intubation or because the first day they forgot to turn the humidifier on my CPAP on. It made it very difficult to swallow pills whole so they had to be cut up into tiny pieces and also had difficulty swallowing fluids. They weren't sure what to recommend because we shouldn't be having certain kinds of sweeteners. Ended up getting Chloriseptic spray. Almost caused me to be in a third day, but they decided at 7:00 pm I could go home.
