First off I'd like to thank everyone. I was discharged to day and boy is it good to be hone. I'm on some pretty heavy restrictions so knife making isn't going to start till after Christmas and then maybe even longer. That's going to be a hard one. One thing that I can't understand is I weighed myself the morning of surgery. The last solid meal I had was 1 week ago. Then it was a liquid diet up till surgery day Wednesday, after surgery it was water only till Friday, Friday back on a liquid diet, Liquid diet was up to discharge today. So one of the first things I did was jump on the scale figuring I be down on some weight. I weighed the exact same as the day I went in, go figure. I'm on an unrestricted diet but need to work into it slowly, you wouldn't believe how good a can of chicken noodle soup a ritz cracker tasted today for lunch. I have a catheter and will have to have that for at least 2 weeks. Only advantage to that is I won't have to get out of bed at night to pee. So again thank you everyone for your prayers.
