Do we care enough to find alternatives to those companies now?
Home!!
Good morning. Had first good night of sleep since last Thurs. Just up twice briefly to do a potty run. Crush n take Oxycodin. Turn heating pad back on.
Got home about 3 PM hospital arranged ride ended up being a Uber.
Son was asleep on sofa n so got all my things in alone. Didn’t take me long to get under covers and was very quickly in dreamland.
The surgery went well Doc said. Robotic, 2 surgeons. 7 hrs. They begin by inserting gas in thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities so they have room to work. They clipped pulled relocated the digestive tract n attached it to the abdominal walls. 7 incisions. Tightened the diaphragm opening n further tightened it with mesh.
Pain level been pretty high. Gas in body- not gastric. And the normal you’d have from cutting, shuffling around body parts and slips.
No sleep first two days post surgery. The gas being pain problem. After one week w/o pain meds my back was singing quite enthusiastically. It wasn’t a gentle ballad either,
Not much appetite but did try a tad of all food delivered. I had one of two things on my tray - grits or tomato soup. Yummy gourmet in my mind. Boring and tasteless in reality
Lots of little things could add but this is good overview of past week
Thanks for your concern n prayers. And thanks Sweet Jane for the prayer thread❤️ Will post this note both there and on Train.

Do ping me though so I can at least read this thread and a few others.
Just saw the new thread. Great beginning, thanks
The Christmas pic of POTUS and FLOTUS is just stunning. It’s one of my faves!
Don’t know if y’all have seen this interview with Trump, but I found it really good because he is the same now that he then as a person.

I believe that I recall thanking LG for this beautiful new thread but, obviously, it was you who created it!
Mea culpa and I’ll try to remember not to assume things anymore.
Thank you, Jane, for the thread!
LG, I hope your house situation gets straightened out soon.
😊
RIP Frank Borman
