Further progress evidence

Recovery continues at home on many levels. Of course, Marty sleeps much more deeply at home than in the hospital. And since the surgery removed the gnarly mess that had caused him so much discomfort, he sleeps even better than previous to surgery. Intestinal cramping and continuous vomiting are no longer issues. This is a huge relief!

Although he takes lengthy naps, he is up doing non-weight bearing projects for much of the day while I am at work. Marty can go up and down our 3 flights of stairs, slowly and carefully, several times daily. He is also understandably tired, and runs out of steam quickly. Then he wisely rests.

The best news is that he can eat just a bit more widely than his formerly very boringly restricted diet without ill effect. As his intestinal tract heals and recovers, we are hopeful that he can enjoy a normal, healthy diet much like we ate before all this distress began years ago,

Many fond and deep thanks to Jay who so very thoughtfully and kindly sent a package of classic films on DVD! What a great recovery gift!!

Thank you also to Delia for magazines for Marty and chocolate for me!
