Kerry hopefully going home next week

This topic is about someone who has been in the hospital for five weeks and is preparing to go home next week. They have a naso-jejunal (NJ) feeding tube and are planning to gain weight at home before undergoing a stoma revision surgery. The hope is that this surgery will help eliminate the pain they experience after meals. The person feels that being at home will make recovery and weight gain more comfortable and quicker. They also express gratitude for the support they've received and promise to keep everyone updated on their progress.

Here are some supportive thoughts and advice shared by others:

- Many people are sending their best wishes and encouragement, reminding them that "there's no place like home" for recovery.
- They are encouraged to keep everyone informed about how things are going once they are home.
