Thank God for Mom's! At Humber they told me that they will not discharge me unless I have someone with me to go home. So even if you wanted to, they won't.
All the best!! :-)
Good morning Menu Peeps. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was not great. Saturday there was a crisis with my Dad's meds and it's hard to get everything sorted out from another country. After 4 hours on the phone, I was able to find an on call doctor that prescribed him meds for 1 week, and then I had to find a person that would go to Walmart and pick them up because they don't deliver and pay for them because Walmart doesn't take payments over the phone. After that I had to deal with my MIL at dinner. Today will be me biting my tongue as I call his regular pharmacist to find out what went wrong. This morning I'm going swimming and then lots of calls, then taking my fur baby into the vet.
Accountability: No that good.
Question of the Day: No question today. Just sending hugs to anyone who needs one. I know I do.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee
L. After swimming scrambled eggs 2 slices of bacon
D. Rolled schnitzel stuffed with cheese and prosciutto (leftover from the restaurant), probably will eat half and some buttah'd broccoli.
Hope you have a great day.

Im so glad you're getting a cab. Im 5 days post op and still not ready to drive, bumps and such are still distracting. Good thoughts heading in with you in the morning
You won't be able to drive yourself home and you can't be lifting stuff. In addition to being uncomfortable, you will be on pain meds. You just can't get behind the wheel in that condition. Whether it be a cab or some other accommodation you shouldn't even think about driving.
Can you not get a friend or family member to drop off and pick up?
Will you have someone staying with you for a few days when you get home or checking in on you?
I was nervous up until I got to the hospital and then I relaxed believe it or not. I was ready. I wanted to do this.
Best decision I ever made.
Good Luck and let us know how you do.

There is no way I would have been able to drive a few days after my surgery. I would say take the cab or an Uber.
Good luck tomorrow.

I did lots of soup. Cream soups that I pureed. Also my protein shakes - Premier Protein. I think yogurt was in there as well. It just can't have chunks of fruit. I had skyr. Higher protein than regular greek. I also drank milk.
January 16th is my one year surgiversary!
Good Luck!
