Out of Hospital :-)

Dad got discharged today and we are back home (the apartment we have rented for our stay here). I feel dad looks a lot better once he is out of the hospital room and out of the blue gown, which probably made him half sick. He was ridden of all the tubes yesterday. The doctors have advised him to resume normal food, but go easy for another week with small amounts and more number of meals, preferably soft diet for the first few days. Dr. Tay, dad's colon surgeon was joking that he should be fed like a baby and be pampered :-)

Our next appointment is on Tuesday for a blood test and consulting Dr. Tan and the Oncologist Dr. Peter Ang. That is when we would know when dad should start his post-operative chemo and based on that his travel plans. Hopefully the ordeal is over and things flow in smooth from now. Even imagining myself in dad's place sends shivers. I guess that is why the Cancer Survivors call themselves the strong ones!
