Today went well. A little bit of work this morning followed by a HUGE lunch from Fred. He brought McDonald’s for all of us. Personally, I had a quarter-pounder with cheese and chicken nuggets. Then I topped it all off with some macaroni and cheese. Boy was I full!
I think being a glutton had a negative impact on my afternoon therapies by making me really tired. At first, I thought that the tiredness might be from an increase in my medications. But, having had another round of medication without sleepiness makes me believe it might have been a “food coma”.
It was nice to give the therapists here at Harborview the gifts that we got for them. Plus we had a big platter of meats and cheeses delivered to the nurses’ station from Husky Deli that was much appreciated. 4 or 5 people came to my room just to tell me how good the snacks were.
We have spent a portion of the day getting things ready for the trip home tomorrow. I am very excited for tomorrow. Saturday night was so great that it makes me really look forward to tomorrow. It will be a change, but definitely a welcome one that has been long awaited.
My new therapy team called today and set-up a schedule for this week. It doesn’t seem too crazy but they have already promised that it will change. I think that it will take a while to settle in with the new schedule.
Looking forward to being back in “the hood.” It is a miracle that we get to come back home. God is good and gracious. He woke me up and healed my body enough that I can come home. What an answered prayer! I think that there will be many challenges but I am ready for them. My plan is to pray my through whatever might come and talk to my husband if there are any issues.
That’s all I’ve got. Good night and sleep well.
