Heading North on Sunday

My counts are back. As it stands right now, I am heading home on Sunday. They have removed me from all of my pain meds and all IV feeding. My “task” for today is to eat 1,000 calories. I never thought that would be tough to do. It is though when you have only been getting like 500 to stay down. I am getting there though.


They took out 1 of my Hickman lines yesterday. This is the tube in my chest. I had no idea they were going to do that yesterday. I was not prepared at all. No pain mends or nothing. I was yelling through the whole procedure. Finally, they had to stop and dope me up. (I think because I was scaring other patients.)

Ben and Jen have the kids and the Cooks my Mom and Tammy are cleaning the house getting ready for my arrival. House must be bacteria free top to bottom.

They had told us we would be down here 4 – 6 weeks. We are outa here in 3 weeks and 2 days baby!!! See ya later Bean town.
