D +13, Time to Go Home!

I still cannot believe today I get to go home and finish my recovery. Three weeks post admission. Woo hoo! I slept most of yesterday - FINALLY - and actually had little problem sleeping overnight. Hemoglobin, WBCs, and platelets are all moving upward. The only transfusion I had to get today is Magnesium. Mom, Chris and Dad are attending the caretakers class today at 9 and then a discharge meeting with me and my doctors around noon. Then its go-home time. After molesting my cats and dog for a while, and maybe some dialogue w my family, its back to bed for me.

D +12, Seriously?

Found out yesterday (my head is still swimming) that I was likely to be discharged 3 weeks after being admitted because I doing so well. THATS TOMORROW, 5/2. Is that because I am doing so well, you need the room for someone sicker, or some other wild reason I couldn't fathom in my stupor? Even tho I had had a few bad days they weren't cancer related...pain management. They have assured me it is because I am doing so well. WHEW! And HOORAY. Not tell my kids because they'll be at their Dads today thru the weekend and I don't want to distract them from having fun with him. n the meantime this will allow me to rest for a few days and reacquaint myself w my family and pets. But I am super excited to see them on Sunday.

Hemoglobin. 8.9
WBCs 4.8
Anc
Plafelets 55

Mom, Dad, and Chris have to attend a care giver's class tomorrow at 9 and I will prolly go home.around 1:00. No more Foley. Almost off all IVs. Switching all meds from IV to pill format. Need to start packing. After a nap.. Looking forward to getting more sleep at night!
