Just wanted to say I came home from hospital late yesterday afternoon and am feeling quite well today. I had a better sleep in my own bed for sure and am enjoying making my own choices for my clear fluid diet (as limited as they are)...especially the white grape juice. 😊 thanks to all for your best wishes and thoughts. It really helped reassure me.

Welcome home! It IS nice to sleep in your own bed without someone coming in every few hours to stick you with something

I really liked the staff at Guelph, but some of the night nurses didn't seem too worried about waking people up -- talking loudly in the hallway, turning all the lights on when they came into check vitals, etc. So I'm glad you're out of there and can get some rest!

Enjoy the grape juice :)

Glad to see your post Kim :) I was thinking about you as well. I am glad you are home and feeling better. I guess each clinic is different in their way and depends how do u feel as well . Did they tell u to start vitamins right away or wait for a week?

They didn't say anything about starting vitamins yet but I have. There can be much nutritional value in juice and SF jello so I assumed I should be. I have to stay healthy with all the bugs my family seems to be bringing home these last few weeks. 😁 Keep well!
