Getting discharged from the hospital today. I am on day 14. Of those days beginning the 29th of Jan. It seems I had an abdominal obstruction that resolved itself but I have tons of scar tissue from a colon cancer surgery in 06. They started me out by trying to get me moving with all the old time things and with held food for a week and had an IV. Then they came in and said lets try a clear liquid diet for nutrition. Then the the next day, the nurse came in as said we are moving you to soft diet but that got changed in 5 minutes, they took my already arrived dinner tray away from me and inserted an NG tube. No food for a whole week, only Ice chips. then they decide I need more nutrition so they give me a pick line in the arm and feed me the phosfates and fats and other goodies. In the mean time I sit here in front of the hospital loaner laptop reading the SMF, Im not suffering for food at thispoint but I want a taste in my mouth. The nurse comes in and tells me to stop touturing myself. I'actually using a laptop belonging to the hospital and It crashed last friday so I didnt get it back til Monday. I went all week with it and it crashed last Friday again, so my wife brought ours up. The Nurse said she hopes my puter crashes, says I deserve it for being so mean to my self. So now I have worked my way back to a full diet on a trial basis but I get to go home as soon as the paper works done and the wife gets here. After all the days in here I am going to treat myself. The day I came in I had smoked a pork ribeye roast( I didnt feel well while making that) but could only eat a little but it was good. What I have in the freezer is a roast that I was going to try and smoke before this happened but tommorow it will be on the smoker if I am up to it. Any how I kept my spirits up by reading the forum and planning, now the day is here so thanks for keeping me entertained I did feel like I was torturing myself but I couldnt resist the pictures, but it was a beautiful kind of torture! I cant wait for tomorow.
