Glad you're back, John. Be sure to spoil yourself during your recovery.
You deserve it! Big cheers, Christine

Subject: Back Again
Made it successfully through my surgery and have recovered enough to be on
my own again. I'm not experiencing any real pain post-op, and just a low
level irritation from the catheter. That's supposed to come out about a
week from now, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it until then.
The people at the VA Hospital in Durham, NC were wonderful. The only
complaint I have is with the food and I don't blame the Durham VAMC for
that.
They closed down the hospital kitchen a couple of years back and the food
is out-sourced to some company up in Virginia. Cooked twice a week,
trucked in & held in storage until heated to serve to the patients. It was
the most god-awful tasting and smelling crap I have ever encountered,
including airline food.
Although, I think it's the same catering company.
Anyway, the taste and smell was so bad I'd start vomiting every time I
tried to eat. I finally managed to choke down a few tiny bites and figured
out to hang on to the juice pack & crackers.
I'd make it a part of the contract for this sort of outsourced catering
that the corporate executives and board board of directors of the company
doing the catering be required to eat their every meal from the menus they
provide to the VA.
Bet the quality would improve drastically. PDQ!
Anyway, I'm up and around and more or less mobile and on the way back to
normal. Gonna close this right now, gotta go chase some kids off my lawn.
