Cancer Update: Check out scheduled for tomorrow morning, barring the unforeseen.

Cancer Update:  Check out scheduled for tomorrow morning, barring the unforeseen.

From a note to key caregivers at my primary care, Unity Health Care (Steph), the Liver team at GUH, the GUH social worker:

":-)  LOL. I feel 1000 times worse than before the operation. To be
expected, I think, but I didn't see it coming.

Much pain in the throat from NG Tubes, twice.  Back pain?  Stomach
pain.

I find that learning to be an effective patient takes a lot of learning, so
much better at it I could have been - knowing that too much pain meds
early on slows down recovery a lot, giving not one pain level readout
but one for each site, being very very very careful about re-introducing
food - not going to fast - not too much intake - not big bites....

Of course I feel hugely appreciative and well-served by the care I've
gotten from you all.  I hope to have an additional 15 years to do my pitiful
little part of making the world less of the cesspool we've made of it.

The docs say tomorrow morning is when I should checkout:

1.  Ms. Steph, will CCNV re-admit me even tho my 2 week ticket has
expired?

2.  Ms. Joanne, can transportation be arranged?

3.  Ms. Joanne, pls advise Reggie, if he can drive, that I have no winter
jacket (police threw out all my stuff last year as part of their clean the
bums off the street tactics).  So, if he can layer so the car can be kept
warm?

Thanks for all you do.

James M."
