My ride is here we're sitting here wasting time waiting on
them to come and get my final release and information on

[PAIN] medication

and pull out this damn Port from my hand

and Finally

I've been home for about an hour and ½, and the ride home
took about 40 min longer than it would have if I'd been driving.
This is my incision site

You're done? Out already?? Rest well... will check on you later...

Yes, I've updated this post with more photos and information
(commentary really ha ha) I've been home about an
Hour and a half Thanks @ackhoo

Oohhhhh more pics! You look happy being at the hospital compared to other people - lol
That incision must be what... 6-8 inches long?

Yeah, I think it is longer to tell the truth, I'm a hurting unit today.
Just got back from getting the pain meds filled, and come
Home to find the ac in my bedroom isn't working at
All. That's no good, If I try to cool both rooms
With one unit, they'll both be burned out.
I can't sleep in there like it is though.
I called it in, they are supposed to
Be sending someone up to check.
This late in the day, I'll be very
Surprised to see anything
Love living here in Wheat
Street Towers Senior
Apartments (Sarcastic font missing)

Lol... sorry... the sarcasm hit me!
Cool one room first (if its still working) until they can come repair it.... which I hope is soon

(Sarcastic font missing) #loveit - but wish you were feeling better!

I enjoy the unique style in which you write. Heal up soon.

Thank you @steemmatt, I do try to be unique. But don't always succeed.

Blessings for a speedy recovery.

Yaaaay! I'm glad to know you're out already and fine! Wish you a smooth recovery!

I just posted a question in qurator on this @blacklux.
Ginabot shows your upvote and comment under
The original name, but on my profile and here
The new amended name appears. Does
The name only change on my profile
And replies? That sucks. But thank
You @blacklux, I can see and feel
Improvements already.

Gina not always shows everything. Also Steemit is implementing some changes so you will see some bugs here and there. Nothing to worry about.

You survived!

We knew you would, but still we celebrate!
So glad the worst is over and you're on the mend.
Looks like you were surrounded by good people. That's half the battle, or more, when recovering from anything!

Tuesday and Wednesday were the bad days, Monday (surgery) was a breeze by comparison.
You see, when I left the hosp to come home, I had paper prescriptions for pain meds, but no meds, and not really any way to get them filled.
I'm at odds with my VA Primary Care (where the meds would be free) and IF
The VA filled them, it might be (as far as I knew then) 7-10 days before I got
Them.
So I went to Kroger and paid for them out of pocket,(not nearly as expensive
As I would have thought) In the meantime, I had scanned the paper scripts and
Sent them on to the VA anyway.
They said they would fill them and the narcotics would be delivered TODAY via
UPS. If it all comes through, I will have double coverage (a no no, but still)
I slept most of Wed and today, and I'm getting around a_LOT_ better
Today.
