Work and such

Everybody wish me luck. I go back to work after new year's. I think I can deal with a close to full time schedule, but we shall see.

Removal of extra parts!

Yay, the feeding tube is out and the trach will be coming out in about 6 hours. That will be the last of the extra parts that have been added to me over the last six months. I have lots of new and interesting scars, but I can finally say that I am all original again. Now all I have to do is to wait for the extra holes to close up. I'm quite happy about this!

Sleep Issues

In current minor good news, I am finally sleeping through the night. I have been having issues sleeping since I got out of the hospital. My only issue right now is that I am oversleeping these days. I wake up at 10am or so. This is only a problem because I am supposed to be taking my meds at 9am.

I'll take getting some sleep on a regular basis though.

More fun

You know, I think the world likes to mess with me. Every time I think things are going well, something comes along to ruin my day. It looks like I am having trouble with my feet swelling again and apparently, it is also messing with my lungs. They are bumping up my diuretic to clear this up. We'll see how it goes.

how am I doing now?

Just wanted to post an update here to let folks know how I am doing. I feel much stronger than I did when they let me out of the hospital. I think I am on track to return to work at the beginning of the year with no issues. I also will be getting my feeding tube removed next week, which is the last of the various tubes they put in m while in the hospital. The trach will be coming out the week after to complete the removal of all the things that got added to me over the last few months. Hopefully, nothing else will get put in...

Other than low potassium levels, it appears that all is going well for me these days.

I'll post more as doctor visits warrant.

Yes, it's true...

I'm home. They let me out of the hospital yesterday and I am trying to finish my recovery. I;m still a bit weak compared to before I went in, but I think I will get back to where I was.

Thank you all for the support you gave me while I was fighting to recover. I don't know what to say!
