So glad to hear that you are home and resting.

About fatigue - I would suggest a lot of liquid and nutritious food plus some meditation/relaxation.

My Chinese church friends brought me cooked 'Ling Chih' ('miracle mushroom') soup 3 days after my surgery in 2003. It was very bitter, but I immediately begin to have appetite and gained some much needed weight. Later my relative in New Jersey got me the capsule form made by the largest hospital in Taiwan. There is a representative in New York if you want to give it a try. Their toll-free number is 1-800-268-5001.

Here's a relaxation form practised by "Kung-fu" masters: Sit in a comfortable position. Make a circle with your thumb and middle finger. Make another circle the same way with another hand around the first circle. Make sure the two hands don't touch each other.

Now close your eyes. Train your eyes toward your nose and nose toward the heart ("eyes viewing nose, nose viewing heart"). (deep) Breathe in and Breathe out. You should feel completely relaxed.
