Home from the hospital...

I was supposed to come home on Thursday, July 12th but because I had kidney stones 30 years ago they decided to have me see a nefrologist and he had me do a catscan to check for any stones. Found none and I came home on Friday the 13th. Things are going OK. I hate taking my crushed pills (all 15 of them), the taste is disgusting. Meals are fine since I am not really hungry. I do find myself mentally thinking of foods I see on TV, but I'm not really hungry. Woke up around midnight with my incision screeming at me. Took my percocet and proped myself up in the courner of my futon. Kept waking up with my neck killing me. I'll try using the recliner tonight. GMOxley

Good to see you posting, and glad you made it home safe and sound. I am sure things will get better each day so take care of yourself and get some rest, but remember to walk and sip. Congrats on your continued journey.

Karen, Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Michael

Congratulations !!!!!!!!!! And welcome home and to the losers bench, so glad things are going well for you and the pain will get better, and I slept in a chair for 2 weeks before being comfortable in the bed. So find the comfy placeand get your rest but as said before walk walk walk and sip sip sip yahooooooooooooo your journey has begun...... : )

Thanks Prissy, Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Michael

Glad you made it through surgery ok! Isn't it weird to not feel hunger? My friends, who've been by to visit, think I am lying about not feeling hungry at all, lol.

I hear ya about the incision pain. One of my six "holes" is killing me. Percocet is still my friend, five days later. I hope we both heal up really soon.

Good luck finding a good sleeping position. I prop up on pillows in my daughter's twin bed. The pain wakes me up at least twice per night still.

Becca, Thanks for the encouragement. I hope that your days get better and better.  Michael
