I've been released!

I was released today, but not after I got a complete workout.  Busy, busy day today.  I woke up going to the ladies room and back to the bed to await breakfast.  Surprise - PT is knocking at the door before breakfast to take me out for a walk.  Everyone didn't lie, each step gets better - just tiring.  After the walk they set me back up in the chair and I had breakfast.  The food still doesn't take great, but even if it was great I don't have a much of an appetite.  Surprise - PT came back after breakfast to get me walking on a stair.  I'm feeling like I'm getting the cram session.  Going up and down the one step wasn't that difficult - up with the good, down with the bad.  It's not even 10 a.m. and I'm feeling pretty tired.  Well now its time to take advantage of this beautiful handicap friendly bathroom before I go home and have to maneuver around my bathroom.  Ahhh, I feel good and refreshed.  I finally get to sit back in the bed, eat lunch and hopefully get a good nap before PT comes back again.  Surprise - lunch wasn't as good as dinner.  A mistake was definitely made somewhere because this lunch was back to being bland and awful.  I ate was much as I could and here comes PT for another walk.  A successful walk and I've been given the all clear to discharge.  I didn't get to nap as I went back to the room, changed into my clothes, my IV cap was taken out and a cart rolled in for my belongings.  I was out the door and tucked in my car before I could say ice cream LOL!  The overall visit at the hospital was great and I surprise myself each day with my improvements.  Now it's all of me - go home and have a healthy, speedy recovery.

It's good to be home.  My niece made me a flavorful, delicious meal:  baked chicken, rice & gravy and broccoli.  I still didn't eat much, but what I consumed was delicious :-)
