Home Yesterday - On the Bench
So I was released from HRRH around 1 pm yesterday. I'm in some pain but not too bad. The gas is worse than anything. Trying to eat but I'm not very hungry. Sipping my water all day though. I had bought some premier protein shakes but they are horrible. Now I have to try and find something else. Had some soup yesterday with skim milk powder in it so I did get a little protein in. I'll keep working at it. Met Peter (rufuslynx) at the hospital and Laurie who both had surgery the same day as me. We're all doing well. I had a bit of a seizure after being given an oxycodone. That was a bit weird and scary. Freaked my husband out. Good to be home though.
