Opioid Induced Constipation is behind us (pun intended)

My first full day back home.  I am hopeful the OIC is over and done with.  Next subject.  For the next 28 days I will need a shot of Fragmin to reduce my risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis.  This morning I gave myself a shot for the first time without a nurse coaching me along.  I had three lessons in Hospital.  It's not my favorite thing to do, but I'm sure it will get easier with practice.  Bruce changed my drainage dressing for the first time; he may not be "that kind of doctor," but he did a great job.  I ate what seemed like an insane amount of food, I added it all up, at least 1200 calories, so hopefully my weight will stabilize.  I may lose more during chemo so I'd like to hold steady at 148.  I NEVER thought I would worry about losing too much weight.  

Rosa spent the morning with me, tidying up, escorting me on a mini walk outside and making a daily drug chart.  I can now pop about 6 pills in one go, unheard of just two weeks ago when I would gag on one big pill.  Anne Marie delivered some eggs, thanks!  I need protein.  

Bruce rearranged the furniture, putting our borrowed (thanks, Shelly) IKEA Poang chair in the living room corner with the best view.  It's very comfy.  Bruce displayed all my cards and put all my essentials (iPhone charger, tissues, etc)  an arm's length away.  It's my new cancer warrior command center.

As always, thanks to everyone who is cheering us along.   

We are both tired, off to bed.  More tomorrow.....
