I'm writing as I await my final discharge orders. I've received all of the instructions for release and my appointment for tomorrow. I've been getting huge infusions of saline to get my blood pressure (which has been chronically low since I arrived) up to an acceptable level. The doc says that my body is already producing platelets - which is a few weeks earlier than expected. I take this to mean that I'm ready to leave - at a cellular level. :)
Thanks again to all those who visited, and sent emails, and comments to the blog. And super special thanks to Jane and Rebecca who made all of those very nice nightgowns. This has been a tough three weeks, and knowing I have so many friends out there rooting for me has made all of the difference.
Now I'm going to go to the apartment to hook up the Wii! :)
Ready to leave
Patrick, congratulations on getting out of the hospital. I have been monitoring your progress on your blog. Your stamina is amazing. I find your blogs very informative and I love your humor. Leo and I regularly lift you up in prayer and we will continue to do so. I know that your Dad will be a good caregiver during these next few weeks. He's an amazing man too. Like father, like son. Take care and God Bless! (Reba Pickett, neighbor of your Mom and Dad)
ReplyDeleteYay! I know you'll be glad to be out of the hospital. Hope your move into the apartment goes smoothly and that you can start enjoying the Wii soon!
