Home - and in pain!

I came home from the hospital today, 4 days post-op. I had to stay an extra day because I had more inflammation around my stoma than is normal according to my surgeon. It is difficult to get in more than one ounce an hour and I constantly feel bloated and in pain. If I walk, I pass some gas and that helps, but not much. I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days, but right now it HURTS!

Monday's the day!

Well, only this weekend to get through and then it's on to the losers' bench. My surgery is scheduled for Monday morning, April 7th. I have to be at the hospital at 10:00 AM. I would assume that means my surgery is scheduled for 11:30 or 12:00.
I began to panic a little yesterday about all the things I might not be able to eat. I think this was a reaction to 11 days on a liquid diet. I posted on the main board and got many positive responses. I need to remember it is all about what I WILL be able to do, not what I WON'T be able to eat.
After 8 months, the adventure truly begins. . .
