    So tired because of sleeping on my back, nurses coming in during the night, some gas pain in left shoulder, traffic noises through the window at night and not in my own home. But today they took the IV out and later the drain, then back to Marriott. I know by that point I will feel more normal. Being free of the IV and getting in my own clothes did wonders for my morale.

    Well, you can't go back now! LOL. You've come too far! Give it time. When you're back in your home, you'll be much better. Have a safe trip home!

    Having 80% of a major organ removed and sleeping in a strange bed will make you feel out of sorts for a while, LOL You will feel so much better in the hotel!

    You'll rest better at the hotel, for sure. That's one of the main reasons I went with Dr. Almanza because it was only an overnight at the surgical centre. I hate hospitals. I can never rest well in them.

    You'll start to feel spurts of energy now. Very short-lived but a little more each day. Don't overdo it, though. Those little incisions can mind-trick you into forgetting that you have a whopper of an incision inside your body.

    I stayed at Hotel Ticuan for that surgery but the Marriott for another time I went there. HATED that drain and was glad to have it out but loved the Marriott totally.
