Recupe update...
Was released from UVA Saturday and have been fuming with my incision ever since. I do feel well, don't have any complications with the incision per se (no infection etc.). BUT, it has continued to weep, I am presuming the fluids from the swelling and IVS. Hopefully staple removal on Friday a.m. will remedy this.
I have decided that I need to spend more time flat on my back. I do feel better afterward. Finally slept well last night. Being home by yourself, however, is not easy if you are supposed to be on your back. No one washes the clothes or brings you food/drink 
.
None of this has been easy with Vegas (yellow Lab, perforated intestine) in the hospital. I have been defying doctor's orders and driving to the vet's to see him. BUT, the news is good. He has survived the first 48 without sepsis. He had water and meds in a little dogfood meatballs this a.m. When he heard my voice, he began whining--a first since he got sick. SO, if he does not vomit today he can come home tomorrow. 
The good news continues: I am finally down a few pounds, - 5 more, to 148 lbs. 
Hope I continue on this streak, since I have been stalled for over 1 1/2 months. Oh, how I have been pining to be under 150!
And, I am now flat on my back again, making typing difficult. I DO feel so much better, though. OH is providing me with entertainment during the day, along with the Food Network. Thank you to all my friends! I am grateful!
Love you all,
Lois

Hey Lois,
So glad to hear that you are on the mend. It's never easy being alone but being sick and alone is the worst. Just rest and get yourself back together. I'm also glad to hear that your doggy is doing better. They do become our adopted children. I have a dog and 4 cats which I love dearly. So I can relate to what you're going through and how much you are missing him. I will keep you in my prayers!!
Congrats on the weight loss. It's so depressing when the scales don't move or even more depressing when they move in the wrong direction...but I am happy for you that you are seeing a loss again. WTG!!!
Lots of Love
Kathy
