Went home Friday night!

Was able to go home Friday evening after lots of "de-briefing" and a breathing treatment in a plastic bubble installed over the bed


I cant tell how great it felt to breath some outside air and the warmth outdoors even though it was late evening. Mom and Alfie and I relaxed at the hotel and enjoyed part of a Greek sandwich and salad.

It was us up and at the hospital at 7am for the 3rd and hopefully last steroid treatment . Today we spent running a few errands getting some mail taken care of and a little hair pampering for Mom. I learned some valuable lessons about just having major surgery, 10 lb weight lift limits, and taking it easy. We were at Petco and dogs were bearing teeth and I instinctively picked up Alfie to put him in the cart and immediately fell flat on my face. Scary feeling. Gonna really have to watch it and build things up slowly.  Well a real day off tomorrow and am going to take full advantage of it with an early afternoon dinner with my best friend from High School and then back at it at the Hospital on Monday at 7am!

  1. Jeff,
    You are in our prayers both of supplication and praise. We are so pleased to hear of each step of your progress. I am particularly impressed that you chose to document your journey in a blog since, as I'm sure you know, rearranging the letters of "Schlerosing Cholangitis" spells out "A Chronicle Logs Insights"

    I have subscribed to this blog and look forward to the insights on life you chronicle here.
