the home report

Although it was a little dicey last evening to get Marty in and out of a vehicle and then up 3 flights of stairs, we made it, he is home now, and healing thus continues.

He slept well in our own comfy bed without hospital noises, lights or interference. Carmella and I successfully kept him warm.

Given that this is his first day at home after major surgery and an extended hospital stay, his activity level was impressive. He collected the mail (3 flights down and then back up), cooked his own lunch while I was out to appointments, sat at his computer to check email, and reorganized his desk. That is a lot of stamina and strength for a person just out of an abdominal surgery! Don't worry, people, I am not letting him wear himself out, just happy that he is coming along so well.

We are taking this very step by step, moment by moment. As the landscape changes with his continuing recovery, I will request anything we need directly by email, text or phone.

Our thanks to you very dear people who have sent thoughtfully brief emails, texts or voice mails to express support!
