Glad to hear you’re progressing, Khadaji! I hope that when you finally get that nasty feeding tube out, someone is going to fix you a whole bunch of your favorite food!
Mom told me an interesting story regarding my operation: Seems a day or two after the operation, she was visiting and I told her that Dad was also there (Dad has passed.) I said he was standing there with some other people that I didn’t know. Now, I know as well or better than anyone what kind of hallucinations Morphine can cause, but unlike my other hallucinations, this one was persistent. In other words, the others would go away when I fell asleep and woke up again. However, I continued to maintain that he was there every time I woke up.
Hallucination or not, I guess it is nice to think Dad is watching over me. 
That’s really interesting. Nice thought, definitely.
Keep getting better, and enjoy your popsicles.
