Welcome to the Other Side! You sound like you are doing pretty well

at this point. It's good to be home, huh? I had very good hospital

experiences, but there's no place like home.

Rest up and post your experience when you are feeling strong. Boy,

do I have stories of family members chomping on food and moaning and

groaning how good it was, while I was sitting there sipping soup out

of a zippie. You're not alone! It made me feel better to

eat " meals " in my bedroom, away from the insensitive solid-food-

eaters (they don't mean it ... they just don't get it!).

Congrats and let the healing begin ...

Irish!
