Larry made his escape at about 2:30 today. Once again, it's good to be home. On the way Larry said that he was feeling better than he's felt for at least the past couple weeks. Before we were discharged we met with a dietitian who had some excellent suggestions for consuming 2000 calories when one doesn't feel hungry. The nurse practitioner also changed some medications that should eliminate the nausea. They also coordinated the visiting nurse who will be coming tomorrow morning and twice a day for a while. I am very impressed with the level of care.
We'll be going back on Friday for a follow-up and probably again next week.
Pete and Laurie - Thank you so much for stopping in for a visit. My call was just to let you know what was happening, I certainly didn't expect you to change your plans and head to the Clinic. Much appreciated though! And thanks for introducing us to Brad and Debbie.
Brad and Debbie - It was nice to meet you both, although I would prefer different circumstances. Brad, thanks for stopping in to meet Larry today before he checked out. We are truly amazed at how good you look at 6 days post-surgery. You've got a long road ahead, but you are recovering well and seem to have a good outlook. We hope you stay in touch through the blog or e-mail. Let us know if you set up your own blog, we'd like to follow your recovery. I chose blogger.com because it was free, easy to set up and simple for folks to follow and post comments.

So glad to hear all of this! We're hoping you'll start feeling better and better Larry!
ReplyDeleteWe will all be thinking of you this Sunday at Stephen's graduation. I know it will be emotional because you guys have been through a lot these past 6 months and it will be a wonderfully happy day as well! We'll be with you in spirit! Congratulations to Stephen and we'll see you when we get back at his party! Love you all, Amy and the gang
