I'm home now; was discharged late yesterday afternoon. Had some complications but they were quickly dealt with by Dr. Bhojani and the great nurses in Guelph. Glad to have slept in my own bed - no alarm bells. Drinking well and taking all medication easily. Still a thankful traveler. Your thoughts, prayers and good wishes helped me through. Thank you.
