Howdy Folks,
I finally made it home yesterday (surgery+15days) at 1:00pm, and boy does it feel nice
! It has been a bit of a bumpy road with a urinary tract infection keeping me low and in the hospital for about a week to ten days, but last Tuesday the antibiotics kicked in and I have felt like a million bucks since (with the occaisional nap to keep the million topped up)! It is sooooooo quiet in the house compared with the hospital. Sleeping in my own bed was interesting - the covers were heavier than the hospital and kept me pinned a little, but who is complaining. Had my first home shower today and have started to look at my daily routine - not least of which is figuring out all the pills and the pill schedule! I had always poo pooed anyone who said they had trouble keeping track of their pills, but I understand now!
I have a pact with Wifey that if she asks me more than 5 times in a day "Are you feeling OK?", I get to smack her!! It is good that we have the weekend and that she has Monday off so I can prove that I can be trusted to be left on my own!!
I have some pictures of the process (some a little gory) and my Top Ten Best and Worst lists of my hospital stay to share - I will put those on separate threads today once I get them sorted out!
Thanks again to all whose advice made the journey so much easier, and to those still in the waiting room, chill out, it REALLY is not as bad as you think.
