Well it's Friday; I've been in the hospital 5 days. I am doing extremely well. The reversal surgery was on Monday-it lasted about 2 1/2 hours. Everything went great. I was out of it for about 24 hours; on Tuesday afternoon I got up and began my road to recovery. I have walked the halls continually trying to regain my strength.
I was finally allowed to eat a liquid diet yesterday. Canned soup never tasted so good (it was 5 days since I had anything to eat). This morning they brought me a "soft" diet. As soon as they dropped off the tray my dr came in to check on me. He was so pleased with my progress he has them take the soft food and bring me a tray of real food. Eggs never tasted so good.
My dr. will be back around dinner time. If all goes well with the eating today I should be going home tonight. While I have enjoyed being the test subject on a new hospital bed-I miss my own bed.
Everyone at the hospital has been wonderful. The nurses, nurses aides, shift administrators, food service workers, and janitorial staff have been so nice to me. They were so excited to have me back to get put back together. Again I have been quite humbled by the support I have gotten from complete strangers. I would recommend Hillsdale hospital to anybody!!
Now that this chapter is hopefully behind me - what will I blog about?

Can't wait to see how much progress you've made by 4th of July. BTW we'd love some of that homemade salsa too. ;•)
