We made it. We are here. I am in my own living room as I write this! We actually got home about four hours ago. After unloading the car and unpacking my pain meds (OK, so I watched Carla and her mother do this), I promptly swallowed two more pills and went down for a nap—in my own clothes, in my own bed, in my own house! Does it show that I'm glad to be home?
Carla is overjoyed to be back on her home turf. She helped her mom a bit on arrival and then crawled into bed next to me for a nap of her own. That was nice. I have watched her sleep on a sofa bed across my room for a week. And the best part of our bit of sleep? No noise. Nothing remotely reminding of a busy hospital. Carla's mom, Joy, woke me at six for my next round of pills. So now we are back up and visiting with our children, catching up on their weeks adventures.
It's dark outside. If you should pass by our house the Christmas lights are on, adding our bit of cheer to the neighborhood. Inside is a happy family glad to have Mom and Dad home again.
glad to see you are happy and comfy

ReplyDeleteKeith stopped by and asked me for a charge number. Some how the conversation turned to butts. :) LOL. We were actually talking about offices and I asked if he knew how you were. He forwarded your blogspot.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are doing some "butt kicking". Way to go! To you, your family and your butt and its cells!
So very glad the prognosis is good and that you are home.
