It's Good To Be Home!

781Florist — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 19:25:47 GMT

I have just come home from a rehab where I spent the past 38 days following a three day surgical stay in the hospital.

I had an arterial bypass in my leg to (hopefully!) ensure that I will now be able to walk without leg cramping and pain.

Daily walks have long been a dream of mine and now I hope I can make that happen!

I have missed the conversation on these boards (I never use my phone for anything but texts and phone calls!) and I am happy to be able to jump back into the pool.

It is nice to be back among you folks!

Great to see you, @781Florist ! Prayed that your procedure would go well, and so glad you're recovering. I'm sure you were missed everywhere, but nowhere more than in the "Home" forum, for your astute and/or droll comments!

@781Florist I hope you heal fine so you can return to your walking. Just take it very slowly at first and watch out for sticks, rocks or acorns on the road or sidewalk.

@781Florist Welcome home! Glad to hear you are out of rehab and feeling well enough to start walking again. Start slow at first and in no time you'll be back to daily walks! In the meantime have fun catching up on all the stuff(?) 😂

Welcome back home and to this Bulletin Board where you have made many friends. I can relate to you in a couple ways. Years ago I had surgery on my right leg where my surgeon had to go up to tie off a broken blood vessel. Not near as serious as Arterial surgery, but it was a very long recovery back to running and ice skating.

I spent over a month in 2 different hospitals with the search for my bleeding colon. Won't repeat the details I have spoke of many times on these forums. Just Colonoscopies/Double Balloon Enteroscopies, and blood Transfusions and Iron Infusions.

Was great getting home to be treated by our large furry family, and really good to be able to eat something other than Apple Juice and Orange Jello!

I did have access to a computer in the guests and patients lounge at 1 hospital, so I could kinda stay in touch with those of different forums.

Wishing you the best at getting in your long walks without having to deal with the cramps and pain.
