Woke up feeling pretty good. Stacy and I caught a ride back to PATS with Eileen, and the road wasn't too bad - though a few of the big bumps reminded me that I'd just had surgery a two days ago. I unpacked, wrote a few emails and took another much needed shower. This time instead of going the bucket bath route I taped a plastic bag over my dressing and had a more normal shower - a lot of prep work, but way more satisfying. At lunch I at a bit to much (still a pretty small meal) and was very aware of how tight my stomach felt. After lunch I wandered down to the MERIP labs and used the computer to get / send email, upload some photos, and call my parents (to warn them that about the surgery). Mid afternoon I really started to feel tired and a little lightheaded so I tried to take it easy. At diner I was still feeling off so had a very light snack (a few pieces of pineapple), then stole Stacy's fan and went off to read in bed about eight.
