This is her walking out of the hospital!
It is still hard for her to talk much, she is still in pain around her neck, throat and head, but she is now home! What a nice little step to have accomplished. While she isn't up for visits quite yet, she is happy, although still tired. She is trying to eat (drink) clear broth, but it is very tender and sore down in her throat. The feeding tube will be removed Friday, as well as her drain tube on her neck. as she came in the door to the house, our dog Lexie looked at her and started barking, and running away! she wasn't quite sure but after a minute she finally recognized "Mom", the wonderful lady who selected her out of the litter three years ago.
Gotta go now, Diane needs some medicine and a feeding.....

Diane,
I wish I could look so beautiful as I was discharged from the hospital....are you sure Jim didn't doctor up that picture of you!? I have been following your progress every day (thank you, Jim, for your faithful updates) and am so glad things are going as well as they are for you. Now rest and let the world take care of you. Did Jim mention I gave you a free past on dental floss for a long time!? As a true Kaiser patient I say to you, "Be well and thrive". Love, Robyn

Diane,
I am so happy see your smiling face (between the tubes of course). You look wonderful and it must be a huge relief to have that behind you.
The healing process will be easy after that surgery!
Love you and hope to see you soon!

What a smile! So glad to hear you're feeling better. Take it easy and try not to do toooo much (impossible, i know!). The more you can rest, the sooner you'll feel like your 'ol self again!
We looking forward to a visit when you're up to it.
