A Successful Outing

Today I ventured out of the hospital for the second time. I’m glad to be able to report that I had a much better time this time. Michele and I made our break around 11AM. Our destination was the timeshare but along the way we stopped at Walmart Super Center. I wanted to find something comfortable to wear while traveling home. Earlier in the week Michele bought me some knit shorts, not too tight. I decided to try to find a tunic or long shirt that would go with. We were successful, finding a sleeveless top that comes down to the thighs. I liked it so much (at $7) that I bought two, one in pink and one in blue. We also bought some fruit (hoping it will get me regular) and I couldn’t pass up a warm, soft pretzel as a snack. We then headed to the timeshare where all I wanted to do was snuggle in bed with Michele (not possible on a hospital bed!) Later we headed off to lunch at Carlos O’Brien where we got the same table as last week. I had the shredded chicken taco salad. I love their chicken! Does anyone know the story with the Irish Mexican thing? After lunch it was back home for dilation and relaxation. My first “dilation on the road” was a success. We got back to the hospital around 4PM. I was quite tired but please with how everything went.

We haven’t made plans for tomorrow. I get my Foley catheter out and I think I need to stay near a toilet afterwards.
