Something something hospital stays are harder than I thought, something something this sucks, still glad I did it, home tomorrow, lots to unpack, cool new scar.
1) Humans tend not to poop when we're away from our own comfy bathrooms (something in our deep instincts, probably, about leaving traces of ourselves in rivals' territory); this even happens on vacation, sometimes-- not to mention messed up sleep schedules and no real quiet at night.
2) I've read in a few places (and personal experience of my own, in recent-ish years, has backed this up) that it takes about three days of recovery time for every one day in the hospital. Take it easy, 'kay?
This actually bore out! Sort of. I definitley swung the other way once I was home orz
Three days recovery at home for one day in the hospital....hmmmm! I'm interested to see if that bears out. I think they rushed me out a little, considering COVID, but that'd be about fifteen days recovery at home all told, and I'm halfway through that, give or take. If I'm feeling mended in a week I'll be delighted.
