Out of the Hospital

This will be another brief update on my condition.  Fortunately, I feel closer and closer to the point when I can do some real writing.  But still too tired and drugged up for that quite yet.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I was released from the hospital   I guess I was up to that but going "home" was quite the ordeal and took so, so much out of me.  The night was rough too as getting used to not having a nurse I could call when I needed something was challenging.  I am currently staying with my sister until I am up to completely caring for myself.  

Everyone has been joking about the possibility that I was having "cute" or "hot" nurses taking care of me, even giving me sponge bathes.  Hah! Nothing could be further from the truth.  Nearly half the nurses were male (though, to be fair, some of my readers may have thought some of them cute).  The female ones were hard working, dedicated, very caring.  And in the end I am glad they were hired for those reasons and not because of their physical characteristics.  

I had the triple bypass morning Saturday, so just five days ago.  Hard to believe.

Right now recovery consists of exercising....which means going for a walk twice a day.  I started at five minutes, and am supposed to add a minute each day.

I would certainly like to push the fast forward button on the next 6 weeks.  

In the meantime, I want to thank all of you for your well wishes.  Keep the coming..they do help!
