I'm out of the hospital!

I just got back from the hospital and could not be more thrilled to be "home." The surgery went fine, although German hospitals are not as efficient as American hospitals are. I was told to be there at 7 a.m on thursday, they did not prep me until 10 and then finally at 12:30 they took me down for surgery. After surgery, I was pretty out of it, but I do remember throwing up a few times from the medicine, that was lovely. I slept on and off the whole time and got to leave this morning around 11. I have to have a cast on for 3 weeks and then after 3 weeks I can start putting some weight on my foot, but not much. After 6 weeks I am home free. I am feeling a lot better about the situation now because I am actually imporving instead of at a stand still. One thing to note is that Americans complain about hospital food. German hospital food is absolutelt disgusting! I have had nothing but bread for the past 2 days because everything else is disgusting, or they just give you gread and this weird yogurt type stuff. I tried most things, but the boiled spinach and fish did not even get a chance! Other than that the hospital was a "good" experience, it was just sometimes a challenge to find nurses that spoke English. It was funny to watch a nurse come in, me say that I only speak English and then have them turn around and bring someone else back in. I can safely say that I never want to be in a German hospital again, but I have done it so I can put it down as an experience! Thanks for all your support and I will keep you all updated!
