Tuesday, March 24th around 6 p.m. -
The doctors released me at about 2 p.m. and Daren picked me up. Back at home now and feeling good. Pretty much pain free except when I sit in one position too long. This diet over the past couple of weeks has caused me to shed nearly 10 pounds. So my butt is now bony.
Early warning signs are what I'm now focused on ... get in the proper amount of fluids. It's not some much the total quantity, but making sure I keep drinking at least 1 cup per hour while awake. That should keep "Neo" happy. I'm back on soft food diet again just to make doubly sure my food processing system is open for business.
The doctors & staff at the hospital assured me that it is not uncommon or unexpected that patients with my type of surgery will have stumbles and minor setbacks as they learn new limits and ways of managing. I'm hearing many stories of people who are living normal lives with neobladders, so it is possible for me, too.
