I tell you guys, if this is the tough part then Di has already beat it! She is great. It's about 10:30pm, 6-16-09. I am blogging(never thought that would come out of me) and Di is up reading. Status Quo around here. Well, except for the minor detail of being in a hospital room. All else is good. Di even had me tighty up the sink and pick up some. Ya, she back. But it's no problem. I need direction. Not from you guys though. So no ideas.
She will be going home tomorrow. Not sure when. It's been nice having the RN's empty her drains. She has 4 of them. 2 under each arm. They will probably be there for 7/10 days so I am not looking forward to emptying those..yuukk. Que Erin. Enter stage left.
All of the nurses have been excellent. Every single one has giving Di high marks on her recovery. It's funny to see the facial expressions of the nurses from last night that are back tonight. They are amazed at how quickly she is progressing. It's been night and day folks. Really cool to see. Not that I doubted how quick it would be. Hell, I told her we should have left earlier today. Then she reminded me that the room was paid through the night.....So ya, I'm staying with or without her. Might as well let someone else change those 4 drains. You know what I'm talking about. You know.
Di was happy to get all the flowers, sweets, cookies..<-damn you Michelle!-and fruit basket(was actually pretty cool looking & tasty), emails, calls and visits. Thanks, GraceAnne for coming by. My sisters and both our parents and Roberta thank ya'll too. Thank you Mrs. Billy and Sherrie(Nurses)for all they did. Especially the first night. We are looking forward to tomorrow! Looking forward to the next challenge. Looking forward to chemo & wigs. Looking forward to London for Riam & Eric's wedding. Looking forward to radiation. And looking forward to kicking cancers ass. So jump on folks, Di and I are going for a ride. Plenty of room for "Band Wagoners". So come on.
blog ya later,
