Home At Last

Teri arrived home as planned Tuesday afternoon and is very glad to be there. Her main objective now (aside from continuing to heal after surgery) is getting her digestive system up and running like normal again. After not eating food for several days last week, and still having very little appetite, this will be a gradual process and right now she's focusing mainly on small portions of cereal and soup.
Of course, not eating much means low energy, so she'll spend the next few days resting and trying to take in more calories. She says there is still little to no pain from the surgery, which is definitely a blessing.

Preparing to Head Home

Dave has been visiting Teri daily at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (hereafter RPCI), and is pleased to report she continues to feel better since the surgery. She is now walking the halls for exercise with little to no discomfort, and has graduated from taking baby steps at first to fairly normal strides. She was on liquids over the weekend, then soup, and should be eating solid food by Monday evening.
She is looking forward to Tuesday, when she'll hopefully be able to return home (assuming no complications between now and then). Stay tuned for a more thorough update once she's back in town.
Thank you once again to everyone who has been keeping Teri in their prayers over the past week. She says she can feel them all!
