It only hurts when I...

laugh, stand up, sit down, lay down, get up,
cough and gawdforbid sneeze.

Home from the hospital on Saturday.
Progress is never fast enough, is it?
They're telling me 3-4 weeks before I'll be
approaching normal. Such is life.

I'm more worried about Carol. She's been
in the hospital since Nov. 30, initially for a 
severe UTI. They took care of that but have
been struggling with clearing pneumonia.
She had one chemo treatment but of course
that is all on hold for who knows how long. 

They put her on 24/7 oxygen as of today and
visitors have to wear masks. They don't seem 
to have answers just trial and error and wait
and see what happens.

Ann is still being the one who takes care of us.
At least being home now I can deal with bills. 

 edit: I am an airhead.
Forgot to mention the reason I was in the hospital this time
was for the ostomy reversal surgery. No more bag!

Finally home...

Admitted to the hospital Sept. 2. Emergency surgery Sept. 3.
Ruptured colon.

I have a lot of catching up to do so this will be brief.
Almost two weeks in, came home Friday past.
Pain has let up considerably.
Blessed with great doctors and nurses.

I have an ostomy bag which we learned about when Carol
had colon cancer. Hoping I can get rid of the bag in
3-6 months.
Diet is low fiber soft foods for a couple months.

The worst that happened was the phone call this morning
from Florida. My friend Jan lost her hard struggle with
lung cancer this morning. Her pain and suffering is over.

 

Hope all of you are well. I've missed you.
