Julie,
Sorry to hear about the complication but glad things are better now. It will take some time for the bowels to get working properly again and you will probably notice that you are a bit more sensitive to certain foods. Some folks have kept a log book of what they eat and drink in order to narrow down foods that have a bigger impact on the bowels. My experience has been that it lessened over time.
Keep up your walking now that you are home. Don't wander far if you go outside though. Short distances in one direction and then back past your house and then short distance in the other direction. At least for first week home, have somebody walk with you if you go outside.
It will take some time to fully recover. DO NOT lift anything heavier than the doctor told you (probably 5 lbs) as there is a risk of hernias due to the incision in the abdomen. I did not follow this rule too closely and I paid for it with two additional surgeries to fix hernias. This last time, I paid CLOSE attention.
My advice comes as result of learning what rules I should have followed and didn't.
You don't want to learn these things the hard way.
Take it easy and best of luck on your continued recovery and welcome to cancer free!
Mike
