    Oh shoot Ed,

    I am just a delinquent poster. I came home on Tuesday, which was 6 days out! I promise that I will do a full post tomorrow. I've just been so exhausted between all the napping, trying to eat, and walking that it's hard to fit much else in. Thank GOD for my parents being here, it's a god-send.

    So, like I said, a full report tomorrow, ok?

      OMG only 6 days in hospital. You must be doing tremendously well Debbe.

      Can I ask you some questions? Are you using any aids e.g. toilet seat riser, grabber, shower chair? And for others who've already been there done this, how long did you use these aids?

      Debbe, I will understand if you're too tired to answer questions, I'm sure someone will answer them for me. Just keep getting well, ok?

        hanging wit de homies

        Debbe

        You delinquent you! Its nice to be back home isnt it? Take your time, no worries, I remember I couldnt sit anywhere for more than 4 minutes at a time when I got out.

        Hang in there. The first days are the roughest, it only gets better as time goes by.

        Dont worry, Let everyone else worry for you.

        Just an occasional, "Im hanging wit de homies" is ok with us
