I'm going home today. Only four days. Doc thinks my recovery so far is amazing. I have to say that improving my diet and getting lots of exercise by walking 3-5 miles a day was worth it. My surgeon said it's amazing how fit I am considering. Even the nurse said my veins were the best ones she's seen all week. I have to come back in a week or so to have the staples and stents out. I changed my bag today, had a shower and have finally been disconnected from all the tubes. I'm mobile, only just, but I am mobile. Looking forward to getting home and seeing my dog and getting some edible food
