The Ostomy nurse that I had to see about a week before my surgery came by.  She brought me a few pouch's and allowed me to change this one myself.  I think I did pretty good with my first pouch.  For breakfast I had the same thing every morning- cream of wheat, vanillia pudding and other stuff that I didn't want.  I really didn't like the pudding very much. I can't complain about the ice cream for lunch and dinner  because at least I know it came frozen and not from the hospital's cafeteria.  After the Ostomy  nurse came by I was told that I could check out.  One of the doctors in with my doctor came by and actually asked me what pain medication I wanted to take at home.  I had been on Dillaudid so I asked for it and he was fine with it.  Then came the paperwork to sign myself out of the hospital.  I felt pretty good considering I just had major surgery for the 2nd time in 3 months.  So that is my story so far.  At least until I got home.  I will add to this blog maybe tomorrow to catch everyone up.
