I'm home!

Thanks Everyone! I appreciate knowing everyone is thinking of me. I am feeling OK, but would be great if I could get rid of this oxygen I'm having to tote around with me. I have to call Dr. Bours' office in the morning to see if they are going to set the appointment up with Palmetto Pulmonary. I hope it's soon, so I can find out what is going on with my breathing. I have tried taking the O2 off and get very short of breath and start turning cyanotic, blue fingers and lips. I hope it's nothing more than maybe bruised lungs from the surgery. I'm not coughing up anything and not running a fever, so I don't think it is pneumonia. Anyway, I'm still doing shots of prostat with no problem, funny how it doesn't taste as bad as it did before the surgery. I just thank god that it is something that is working for me. The diarreah is still lurking around, so tomorrow I'm going to take some immodium since all the gas is gone. I just hope I'm not one of the unlucky ones that is plagued with it for life. I am back to my weight that I was at the day of my surgery, so that makes me feel good. My next feel good day should be when I start full liquids which will be the 9th. All of my incissions are itching so I know they are healing up. The drain is still draining a lot of light pinkish yellow fluid. I broke out from the dressings they put on me at the hospital and its blistered up and sore. I stated using the press and seal and it works great. Well, I guess I have rambled on enough. I'm going to sip my blue water in my SC game**** cup that Rachel brought me with the flowers. Thank you so much, it does help make the blue water go down better, ( all in the head), blue liquids just don't turn me on, lol. Everyone take care and I hope to be back to the meetings real soon. I won't be there this Monday but I hope to be at the next one. Mary

Sorry you are feeling so bad. Take care and feel better real soon, it won't be long. Those pounds will melt off and your chest will feel better. Keep using your sporometer and it will help. Praying for your recovery!! Deb
