Recovery

Well, I am home from the hospital and staying at my mom's. Yes we are talking again and tenatively resuming a semblence of a relationship. She offered and my mom is not known for motherly skills or desires, so I said yes in hopes of encouraging her.

I got all my staples removed Tuesday and the drain as well. Boy that drain hurt coming out!! Anyway now I have a big hole where it was and it is all gooky. EWWW!
I am regaining strength and mobility slowly, but surely. I can now get up and down off my bed and out of chairs by myself (most of the time). My appetite is returning slowly and I am trying out different foods. So far so good.
