Quite by surprise the colonic event occurred late last night. This is the best news of the week. Her intestines and colon are waking up. It's causing pain but it's the good kind because as you all know the lower tract has to be in working order before they will let you go home.
Her spirits have returned as has the color in her cheeks (.......well, yes those too). Her laps now extend out into the hallway and around the nurses station. The nausea has subsided, and I am to purchase some chicken consomme from out little neighborhood restaurant, "La Bottega" for her dining pleasure tonight.
If I were a betting man I would say she comes home late Monday or early Tuesday.

Ah! The Toot of Freedom. The Clarion Call of Peristalsis. The Awakening.
Well done.
Hello Hamms!
Glad to hear that there is a homecoming date in sight. Thanks so much for putting this blog up as it helps me feel in the loop without asking you to repeat it for the 100th time.
As soon as Diane is home and settled in, I plan to come spend a good part of the weekend with you and be not just a house guest but a gopher/landscaper/cleaner/cook/maid. Just let me know when you're ready and I'll come over to be as useful as I can!
Sending you all love every day!

Carolyn, illustrator of the soon to be critically acclaimed "Bubble Homes & Fish Farts," will be quite pleased at this news. She will want to know if you made bubbles, too.

Way to go Diane, hang in there and get well
