Goin' Home!
All my tubes are gone, the IV has been undone, even the Catheter is gone!
I've been cleared for takeoff.

Get me outta here. I can't wait to get home in my own house, with my own stuff, and I can maybe get some rest. As soon as they said I was free to go I got dressed and parked out by the nurse's desk while they prepared my discharge orders. They didn't expect me to get ready that quick. Hey, I'm going home, of course I'm gonna get ready quick. Finally, they read all of my instructions, "Take this handful of pills at this time, take some more later, call the Dr for an appointment, blah, blah, blah." Good thing Laurie was there. I didn't listen to a word the nurse said...Did I mention I'm going home?

It's a little uncomfortable riding in the truck, and I realize that I am still pretty tired. We make a quick stop so Laurie can grab some lunch and then HOME!

I settle into my Lazy boy, lean back with a blanket and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Now the recovery can really start..
