I got out this afternoon. Yesterday they basically spent the day taking tubes out of me (some felt painful coming out others just felt plain weird) and observing how I handled regular food. This morning they asked if I was ready to go - and I was :) Sister GOC gave me a hand and we got back to my apartment around 2. All very cool. Now that I'm off of the epidural, pain's a little more of a problem but they've got me on some oral meds that are working pretty well. So it's now all about recovering. Kinda tired today so just going to take it easy tonight and watch some movies - tomorrow I plan to spend some time walking, depending on how I feel.
That's all for now,

Fan-freaking-tastic news! Didn't check over the weekend but am very happy to hear you got to spend it at home!
Awesome news, hope you had a nice relaxing weekend at home, and didn't try to do too much.
