That's what Christy always says when we drive into the garage. Well, we're home and boy, is Christy glad to be here.
The actual check-out process wasn't so bad, but it took a long time. This trip to the hospital was tougher for Christy than the one in November. Tuesday morning's post operative MRI took forever and Christy needed her Tylenol and was unable to get it at that point. But the ICU staff was superlative and we were extremely fortunate to have had our own Nurse Practitioner in the regular ward: Buffie - a new friend from American Yacht Club who runs that part of the hospital. Nice that Christy had her own "peeps."
We're home resting quietly. After a light lunch, it will probably be nap time for Christy and work time for me. Please don't call quite yet as she remains highly sensitive to noise. However, do keep the Well Wishes coming.
Allie and I have been reading them to Christy and they have brightened her eyes from the beginning of this. As she feels stronger, Christy might make some calls. We'll also play that by ear. As always, feel free to call me on my cell (post a message requesting the number and we'll send it to you) and I'll pass on any messages.
Next steps: In two weeks Christy will revisit her surgeon to get the staples removed. At about that time, she'll start her new routine of chemo. Don't know what the concoction is that they will use, but I have a feeling it will be pretty powerful stuff.
We have a pretty tough fight ahead of us and, with the continued support of our community of friends, we'll make it through.
More soon,
Buttons
