I'm Home!!!!

I was discharged at 8 oclock this evening and it was an hour and a half home. Im in good spirits. a little sore and have lots of gas. i think its normal. they took the drainage tube out before i left and that was when i felt the gas. i know i have lots more to deal with and it will be hard but this experience so far was a breeze. i woke up grogy and out of it but the pain in my tummy was not the first think i thought of. it was my throat that hurt and my mouth was dry. i was very uncomfortable sleeping last night in that hospital bed so when Dr Malik mentioned going home today a day early i was happy. he said i broke the record for his patients. i was the first one going home the very next day. he told me that when he was performing the surgery that he was thinking it was going so well that he thought about me going home early. the nurses said it was such a pretty barium swallow too. i just took some meds so im off to bed for a little while. thanks so much everyone for all your prayers and support. holly, i love you bunches and bunches. adrienne

great job!!! Sip, sip sip and take those pain meds. Gail

Three cheers for you!!!! Remember to drink your water. And no one ever said anything to me, but keep an eye on the incision that had the drain stitched into it. The night after I came home that incision was draining while I slept. When I woke up - about 3 hours later - I was in a puddle of blood and drainage juice 3 feet long and a foot wide; my gown was soaked from hem to neck and I waqs soaked to the skin from my belly button all the way around to where the good Lord split me. It was an awful mess. It was a lot of cleaning up but I called the doctor's office and was told I would be fine and I have been. Well you get lots of rest -- it's time for a nap for me. Many blessings, Maureen

Congratulations!! Pug mom D will be home tomorrow, so you both will be in same situation... keep at it girl! Gavin.
