Groggy, but on my way home...

I'm going home today!!!

Probably by early afternoon, my dad will come get me, pick up tons of my pain meds and drive me home. I'm on heavy opiates, and my stomach area is really tender even when I'm drugged. I'm groggy and can hallucinate just by closing my eyes... "on demand"

I'll post more when I start to get more comfortable and coherent, and when I'm ready for visits at home... It will take me a while to figure stuff out around comfort, diet, sleeping etc...

I'm looking at about 10 days of pain and heavy medications before things get incrementally easier...

HOME!!!!

    It will be good to be home, I'm sure! Feel better, and if you need anything... a home made meal delivered, perhaps, just say so!

    Dave,
    Healing is best at home....especially just in time for the tulips.
    Glad the worst of it is over and that you sight glimpses of relief from the pain.
    Hallucinating on demand used to be thought of as a good thing.
    Love you much and see you soon. You are never out of our thoughts.
    Paula and Doug
