I'm home!!!!!

Oh man it is so good to be home! Stanford Hospital is pretty good as far as hospital's go I daresay (I don't have much hospital experience), the nurses were fabulous, and I recovered really fast, but by 2 days ago I was completely over Stanford and ready to come home. By yesterday I was almost climbing the walls!

Overall it all went really well - the doctors were all very impressed with my recovery, and I felt pretty decent by the day after surgery, and even better by the next day.

But I slept badly every night, despite having a private room - it was uncomfortable and people came in constantly, so I only managed to get about 1 1/2 hours sleep at a time, and even then it was a very light sleep. The food was also terrible, and combined with a sore, swollen throat from the respirator, and screwed up taste buds (anything sweet tastes disgusting at the moment), made for a pretty stuffed up diet. I just had some mashed potatoes and gravy for lunch and it was oh so fabulous :-)


I'll do a more comprehensive update at some point, but don't expect anything any time soon, this is tiring enough :-)
