I just got home. I am glad to be home! I'm sore, and stiff feeling from the long ride.
I got a big surprise today at the hospital. A lady came in with a Lab/poodle mix dog. She told me they have been visiting the hospital for the last 2 years, and that the dog always looks forward to Thursdays. His name was Bentley, and he was 4 years old. All white, and absolutely beautiful. He put his front paws on my bed for me to pet his feet, and head. After about 3 minutes, he was ready to go to the next patient! What a wonderful thing that dog does! It brightened my day!
I hope you feel better today after a night at home in your own bed.I just got home. I am glad to be home! I'm sore, and stiff feeling from the long ride.

So happy you are out and feeling good! Love this dog story - it made me cry. What a sweet thing for that woman and her pup to do every Thursday! Keep on healing Mary!I just got home. I am glad to be home! I'm sore, and stiff feeling from the long ride.

I have a confession to make. I could have left by the third postoperative day but I stayed one extra day until Thursday (plus I was only 49 at the time so maybe a bit of wimp). Apart from the cruddy hospital food and the sad little TV I liked being there and being taken care of. Did you actually go home on the first postop day? Wow - take care and take it easy - don't overdo it at home. Make sure you get lots of rest and take your meds!The TV that was in the room had a handle that you could move it however you wanted it right at your bed. There were headphones that could be plugged into it, and a keyboard could be plugged into the TV also. It was touchscreen, and on the menu was the internet. Pretty damned cool! My kids thought that was amazing!
This is as close to Bentley as I could find..
