Thanks for the update, OP, though I wish it were better news.I will leave this up for now as OP has a specific follow up question regarding pain and symptom management. However, if this thread becomes off topic (including an excess of well wishing in relation to actual advice being given), we will lock it.We all want OP to do well. Stay on topic so we don't bury good advice that may come forward.
Fortunately I do, and they've been a tremendous help. Would have been very difficult without their aid. However , things have mellowed out enough, now that I've been discharged, that most everyone has been able to return to their routines, which is nice. Their support was invaluable but I was eager to get everyone back to their normal lives as well for their own sakes and health.
