3rd day and I'm home!!!!!!!!!

Well you just hit your first "speed bump"! Did they give you a coughing pillow? If not get, something small you can clutch when you cough/sneeze and keep it handy! Even a small rolled up towel works well. 6 hours sleep 4 days out is great! Keep on keepin on!!

Today was my hardest day yet. My chest has hurt worse today than any other day. Last night before bed I took a drink of water and it went down the wrong pipe and I coughed VERY hard. I cant really describe the pain, it was awful. So I'm just taking it easy around the house today. I did manage to get6 hours of solid sleep last night which is 4 more than any other night.

Thanks again I will post more tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about the speed bump today. So far POD #6 and #7 have been the worst for me, both physically and mentally. Remember that most folks are still in the hospital at this point so don't overdo it.

Best wishes for a more comfortable week.

I remember that pain tex, ugh. Just know this too shall pass, and you'll be a new person once the drudge of the first weeks of recovery are over. Hugs (lightly ), ~Karen
