that's one TOUGH lady! No pain meds, out of the hospital in less than a week...Wow!

Truly, that is astounding. Most people (myself included) were hospitalized twice that long, and spend significant periods on fairly strong pain medication. to not need anything is really unusual.

I would STRONGLY suggest you talk to the nutritionist at the hospital about alternatives for caloric intake. Diarrhea is dangerous because it dehydrates you very quickly.

The Doctors should be able to get that under control quickly, and there is a wide variety of liquid nutrition that she can try.
