I'm blogging (and waiting to be discharged) while I'm staring at David and the girls hogging my hospital bed while I camp out on the sofa! Wassup with that!?! I do believe it's about time to bolt from this hospital! I had my last test (cancer screening test in my nose) this morning which came back clear! Dr. S has discharged me, and now we're just waiting for them to load me up with all my meds. It's 3:30pm, and we've been waiting since this morning to get my packing papers. We'll then head back to the hotel so I can recuperate a bit before catching our early morning flight back on Friday morning. I'm so thankful for the treatment, tests, and care I've received here in Bangkok and for the future treatment plan Dr. S has already established for me back at "home". Unfortunately, it's a plan that's going to take several months to over a year to reconcile, but at least I know I'm going to get better. We still won't know the result of the muscle biopsy for several weeks, but no matter the result, my treatment plan will be basically the same to my understanding- maybe a little tweek here or there. It's going to really take some getting used to for me to limit my exposure to sunshine and take it easy, but I must obey doctor's orders. Honestly, I'm tearing up as I type. Tears of joy. Tears of sadness. Tears of....well, I don't know- I'm female! I'm hesitant in leaving the hospital because I've had 24 hour care and haven't had to think about a thing other than getting well. I must remember to take it easy and not push my body even when I feel the slightest better or it will just set me back. It's hard to see my girls a bit downcast and droopy-eyed knowing their buddy, Rachel is now enroute back to the states.
Update on my mom: She's still in a lot of pain. They've changed her pain medicines and got her up 4times (!) today. I'm so grateful my sister has been there to help relieve the shifts with dad. I really tried to convince mom to fly out to Bangkok for her surgery...maybe they would have given us a "two for one" family discount (LOL!!).
