I get to go home!! Yay!
I just finished my training here. I made my medicine (not just practice, but the actual medicine) and changed my pump. Then I cleaned my dressing again. Because of the coumadin I bled yesterday, which is normal. I did really well of course. If I didn't they would not be letting me go. Stephanie will be in Junction Friday to do my next dressing and make sure everything is set at home.
Like mom said, last night we got the first side effects. It sucked, but it is mostly gone. I love my momma bear! As assertive as I am, sometimes I am not enough so. I am glad to have her here!
You know, the mixing the medicine doesn't bother me. It is the dressing. I get nervous and serious with it. I think it is because the medicine I can redo if something goes really wrong, but I know I can't do the dressing wrong... there is no way to redo it if I get infected.
I don't think we are making any stops along the way... except for Georgetown. I want to stop there at the visitor's center. I think mom and I are ready to get home. Oh wait... we are stopping for Little Boy at a store to get Faygo soda. I don't know... don't ask me.
Wow - your adventure comes home. I am so amazed with both of you. Thank you for all you have done to keep us posted. (I especially love the pictures - that little Xena is a knockout!)I am proud of both momma bear and baby bear - keep those idiots in line. I am appalled with the arrogant nurse-admit ignorance, admission will save lives.
ReplyDeleteJoyce - I have a big hug waiting for you when you get back to BTK. miss ya!(just a smidge)
