Thank you all for your kind words. I've been home from the hospital for about a day now, and doing okay with everything. I've been trying to drink watered-down Isopure Zero-Carb, so that I can get some protein in, but I think it's upsetting my stomach a bit and making it harder for me to get in enough liquids. Tomorrow I'll try without it and see if I can do better. I walked twice the length of my apartment's hallways three times today and also used my incentive respirometer and learned how to give myself shots of blood thinner. I'll be sleeping in a recliner again tonight and hoping I can get back to my own bed soon.
