Monday, March 23rd -
My wife and oldest daughter picked me up a Virgina Mason last Saturday afternoon. I noted some progress toward Spring with lots of red alder catkins and a few blossoms. At home, the first sure sign of Spring is the skunck cabbage blossoming. Sure enough, it's out!
It's great to be home! Must be a huge transition for folks that are in hospitals or other institutions for weeks or months. Sleeping in your own bed without the hourly wake up to get bp, temp, take a pill, give some blood, listen to your heart, etc is just amazing.
Seeing the small incrimental changes around the house & yard is fun; like the grass greening up & taller, daffodils in bloom, buds swelling to bursting point on the wild cherry, birds doing their goofy things to get attention. Also, this is that singular time of year when there are no dandilion flowers!
I'm feeling good. A few aches and pains as my internal food processor gets back into gear. I have my "ball and chain" as Lauril (oldest daughter) calls it. Tubes and bags for collecting fluids. She's also making fun of me for tracking just about everything to goes in and comes out. Hey, it may be important sometime!
The quick sequence of next steps:
+ Wed, March 25 - remove staples, finish Factor 9
infusions, Lauril's birthday
+ Wed, April 1st - overnight a VMMC to get tubes removed
+ Fri, April 3rd - start serious recovery efforts!
