Home Sweet Home

They discharged me out of the hospital yesterday morning. I must confess, I was feeling a lot better already, but had planned to stay one more night. But they probably needed beds...

So my right kidney has been removed. Good thing you can perfectly live well with one kidney, as long as you take care of yourself. According to the surgeon who operated on me, the surgery went extremely well and was done faster then expected. And from day one in the hospital, I got compliments on how well I was doing. My stomach and bowel transit already took up the day after the operation and the wound is healing well.

I must confess, it's great to be home again. Tonight was the first time in a week I could sleep without being disturbed by the calls of other patients, carts being pushed through the corridor, ... Slept for 8 hours without waking up!
