I'm Finally Home
Hi I was discharged this morning and i am finally home. There is no greater feeling. I'm going to have some broth and a three hour nap. I had alot of nausea but it's gone now and I've been holding shakes.
Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm ready to push forward
Talk soon

Welcome home buddy! It is wonderful to be in your own bed. The monitor alarms went off every few minutes in my hospital room and I did not ever get any sleep. So lovely to be in my bed with my pillow! Rest up and try to get your liquids in. And walk when you can.
So glad to hear you are home. Hope you get lots of rest!

You've been through a lot--sounds like being home will help you feel better. I am one of the weirdos that prefer the comfort and security of being in the hospital; maybe because the hospital is small and well-staffed with a lot of "angels on earth." Then again, maybe it is because DH's support at home is awesome the first day, so-so the second day, and then nothing. May all your days be first days.
