  • Home from the hospital

    Hi everyone
    I got home from the hospital last night. I ended up staying longer than expected due to significant problems with nausea. The day I was supposed to go home I started throwing up all of my pills and had to have an iv put back in so that was a bit of a set back. We suspect it was more of a bathroom problem than anything else and I solved that problem and rearranged some of my meds and everything worked out great. I'm doing well at home. I have found lots of fairly comfortable places to sit but nothing super comfortable. I am on oxycodone or something like that plus valium and nausea meds if I need them and that seems to be taking pretty good care of me at this point. Hopefully things continue to go this well and best of luck on everyone elses recoveries!

    Sarah,

    Keep up the good work and continue to heal. For me, this next week or so was probably the hardest part, and then it got gradually easier. Take it easy and get all the rest you can.
