Dukel,
Thanks for checking in. I was wondering how you were doing.

Your stay was a little longer than anticipated. But, glad you are home. I know it sucks right now, and hours seem like an eternity, but hang in there. Things will start falling into place. You will not be sorry you had this done.

shout out to all: Home dec.26. I'm alive but not sure at this point that thats a good thing???. first 3 days were ok,removed epidural day 4, couldn,t take pain killers, didn,t want mess with digestive track stopage, been there before. Toleraging pain well just stressing over digestive track. Hoping in a few day i'll feel like living. I've been here before but it just don,t get any easier. think i'll be ok if i can get stomach working better. everything is a catch 22 right now.
