Home Again

I got home yesterday around noon, but went pretty much straight to bed, feeling utterly exhausted from just the trip home. I have a pretty impressive scar about 8" long, and am held together by staples, which actually looks rather barbaric. I'm not in too much pain now, but am still taking painkillers every 3-4 hours.

Walking from the hospital doors the ten feet to where Robert had stopped the car, I was overcome with gratitude for the sweet smell of fresh air. One never smells fresh air in a hospital anymore, it's all recycled and cleaned and swept and sterilised. It was wonderful to be out among daily life again.

I'll write more as I am able, thank you to those of you who've sent good wishes.

  4. Get well soon! I am thankful you've made it through the surgery and out of the hospital. Enjoy the fresh air and the sweet beauty of Christmas. And remember that your body cannot get heal any faster than a body can heal, but you can sure slow down the healing process by overdoing or not taking care of yourself. Best wishes for a gentle recovery.
