Home finally

I came home from the hospital today.  All went well.  The nursing staff were great, but I guess when you are lucid ICU patient, they are a little thankful for that.  I'll never forget P, C, K, A, D, and K.  I hope you are all continue to be blessed with your good work.  I have so much respect for what you can do and the patience that you show.

Worse event:  getting a wrist IV.
Best event:  waking up :)
Second place:  Having 6 cups of jello, 4 popsicles and 2 juices for dinner on Saturday night.  You can imagine how much fun that was with my blood sugar/diabetes, but it was awesome for my cotton mouth that the steroids had given me.

Just had dinner and I am feeling good.  Blood sugar was awesome before dinner, 107, so it seems that the steroids are out of my system.  My vision has completely be restored.  I feel like I have a cold. I am stopped up and tired, but taking it easy, I think I will be like brand new soon.  It amazes me what I have just experienced and how close to normal I am once again.

The ENT placed stints in my nose to correct my deviated septum that didn't get fixed right the first time.  I have to call tomorrow to get an appointment to have them removed in a week or so.

I feel like I have a new outlook on life.  I read a grown-up book while at the hospital and since I'll need to continue to rest, I've already started another book.  I am sure this roll won't last long, but it is nice taking a little time for myself.

Thank you again for all your love and support.  I remained at peace right up until it was time to say by to Hans and I shed a few tears.  I am so thankful God protected me and allowed me to come back to my family.
