The hospital sent me home for a couple of weeks to let me get healthier. I have the feeding tube in and will have a nurse come and hook the pump to the pole for the special feedings. They say I'm too thin and need to build up more for the surgery. I'll get blood work with the results being faxed to Pittsburgh for the team I have their to read them. Sometime in Oct I will go back for the surgery but will visit the Dr one time before that. My daughter's boyfriend will be my nurse tomorrow afternoon. I guess what I take thru the tube takes a couple of hours. He works at the hospital during the week and does Home Health visits on the weekends.
I want to thank all of the ones in the forums that sent me cards. There sure were a lot of them and the ones that US Mail delivered. Love you all but I must get busy here for now I couldn't get that laptop to work . LOL . Have a good nite all.
