  • Mal is discharged from the hospital! 23 hours in there (because 24 hours switches you over to in-patient). Recovery time is several weeks, but I'm just happy to have her home. Er, well, our temporary home here in Atlanta, at least. Still lots to talk about, soon enough.

As someone who has been in both positions, I have so much respect and admiration for how well you two are handling everything. It won't be easy, but hopefully Mal sees a light at the end of the tunnel now. Sending so much love to you both.

      I was given oxy a few times in the hospital and the constipation is just insane and even years later my body still remembers it and has like a desire for it and I didn’t even use it all that much and I tried to forgo it except in the very worst situations.

    When I got my endo surgery the gas pains suckkkedd 😤 a heated wrap thing around the shoulders helped as that's where it accumulated in me, oh and sipping peppermint tea helped ease it too!
    Either way, do what makes you comfortable Mal and hopefully the gas pains passed relatively quickly.

    "You can have food that's solid" is Grandpa being salty about his chicken broth from when he got his appendix removed?

    I’m glad you’re getting better Mal. Hate to turn this about me but this vlog occurred on my birthday.
    Anyway, Stephen be careful not to give too much Oxy Contin to Mal. It’s an addictive drug to people if they are given too much.
