It's somewhat normal life. The only thing normal is that I am home. I have Clinic visits weekly, have to have blood drawn weekly to set meds for the next week. I get my 42 staples out of my belly on the 17th, can't lift anything over 5 pounds. I am really pushing myself to my limits in doing what I am. I am about where a patient would normally be in 2 weeks after the surgery according to the Doctors and Nurses that performed the operation and cared for me in the hospital.
