Back from the Brink

I have safely evaded the reaper yet again! No, just kidding, it wasn't all that bad, but there were some moments that were hard to endure. You really don't want to hear about it, do you? Call me if you do, but trust me, it's a long and painful story.....

I am so grateful to be home and intact. My dear husband is taking such good care of me, I think he should have had a career in nursing. Today we walked to the end of our city lot, about 100 yards each way... doesn't sound like much, but on day 3 post-op, it is pretty darn good. The grass seems so much greener and the flowers are so vibrant. Hospitals need to be sterile and institutional,,,, but.........Home is good.

I did have some issues with pain control and my body's reaction to the drugs. Some drugs had no effect at all and other were so strong I hated it! You hear about people addicted to oxy-contin,,, I can't imagine that...I had one dose and felt like the world had turned upside down.....no more of that stuff for me. I simply cannot understand what might be "recreational" about that drug.

That's all for now, more later..........
