Welcome back to the daily grind, and the chance to get used to your new normal.Following my life-changing accident I spent 17 weeks in the hospital. Fortunately, i guess, I didn't know about it until the 6th week. Like you, the docs, nurses and countless others worked their magic piecing us back together.
Some stuff worked on the first try. Other times something had to be redone. Neither us not them knew how our bodies would react, accept or reject the repairs they were applying.
Bless them all for keeping at it and getting us back out into the world - even if we still have a bit more that needs to me done.
Welcome back, glad to hear you are still kicking after all your trials.
Best,
Jack
p.s. sounds like you are about ready for less liquid or a bigger bag
