12th day.
Tube in the nose removed. Been pooping more, farted even. Doctor recommended to eat sweets, how could i say no? Sweets never tasted better. Had 250ml of liquids at night. So far so good.
When will I be discharged? I think most people asked me this question throughout my entire stay here. But this really isn't the most important thing. It's more crucial that I'm well and healthy enough on my own first. Honestly, i wouldn't even say i'm 50% yet. I'm still unable to take soft foods, i'm still on that nutrition drip, and i'm still having stomach pains once in awhile. Perhaps it's due to the bowel movements, perhaps it's due to hunger. I highly doubt it's due to hunger though. We'll have to see.
I just hope i continue to improve. I can't take this for granted anymore. Being able to pass motion and pass gas is a good sign that things are working. Being able to enjoy food really is a luxury. I miss that. I miss being healthy. So i'm really gonna do whatever i can to be healthy again.
Also, doc said earliest date of discharge is friday. I really doubt so, considering there are so many criteria to clear. We shall see. I need to be able to take solid food before they remove nutrition drip, then prove that I'm able to pass it out before they can allow me to go home. Lots of things left. And all these things take time. One step at a time.
