Home

They sent me home today. Stanford's a great place for outstanding medical care. My hospital stay had me in the ICU for 1 night, and a regular room for the second. The ICU provides really outstanding care. They have you wired so well that they don't even need to wake you to take your vital signs. The have 1 nurse for every 2 patients The regular room was fine, a bit noisier, but not too bad.

I graduated from the clear liquid diet to the "full" liquid diet today. With all the liquid, I've still managed to drop 8 pounds in 2 days.

On the way home from the hospital, we stopped by the doctor's office, and he removed the nasal congestion, providing much relief and making it easier to breath. The doctor asked that we return on Saturday morning so that he can clean out the sinuses again. That doctor's visit on Saturday will be the highlight of my day.

Thanks for all your well wishes, and kind thoughts. It's nice to go through this with a wonderful community behind you.

I'll try to post more tomorrow.
