Going Home Today

My doctor came by early this morning and told me I am able to go home this afternoon. He said all my labs looked great ... biopsy was good and all my labs were good ...

Within a few minutes the resident came by and said I could go home this morning

So I called D and let him know I could go home and started getting my stuff together ...

They did all the check-out stuff ... went over what I could do ... how to check my incisions ... when to call the doctor before my two week appointment ... took out my IV ... loaded me up on the wheelchair ... and we were off ...

I went outside for the first time in 5 days and it was wonderful ...

D. brought the car around and we were outta there ... we stopped and filled my prescription and then headed home ...

And let me tell you ... that shower was AMAZING ... man I needed a shower so very badly it was crazy ... washing all the sweat (my room's air didn't work so I mostly just sat and sweat) ... and just hospital off of me ...

Then D left to go get Curly Top ... and when they came back through the door everything felt wonderful ... having us all together again was just beautiful ... it brought tears to my eyes ... we were all laughing and smiling and I think each of us was so happy to be right there in that moment ...

Life is going to change ... I haven't been happy with how things have been going for some time and it is time to make the changes ... my doc said he wouldn't be at all surprised if stress didn't start the wheels in motion as a wake up call for me and he is probably right ... things are going to be different ... I am only interested in really putting my heart into the things I care about ... and I can't worry about anyone else but my family any more ... if it isn't good for me or my family it is no longer getting done ... these are changes that must happen immediately!!!
