May 29 - Day 34
Tap your heels together three times ... and say "There's No Place Like Home".
And magically, I am now home! It was touch and go for a bit today as the various groups of doctors debated on whether I could go. Hematology/Oncology did the bone marrow biopsy on Monday, and they were all set to release me today. But the Infectious Diseases doctors were not aware of this, and had me still on IV antibiotics and anti-fungals. Eventually, though, thy took me off IV and gave me prescriptions for oral substitutes. (Turns out the anti-fungal is very expensive, so we'll get a small amount and look for alternatives.) And yesterday they wanted to put me back on IV - but it turned out it was a one-time thing since they already had it made up.
The new Comfy Chair (highly deseving of capitals) arrived on Monday, and Cardinal Biggles was filled with fear and surprise, but not so much ruthless efficiency.
Finally, I did a weigh in and found I have lost 31 lbs. I am basically a stick insect with absolutly no muscle tone, energy or stamina. On the plus side, I expect to be eating vast quantities to try to rebound.
Home again home again jiggidy jig......can you eat anything? I can help fatten you up.
ReplyDeleteWell it's great to see that you home and, relatively, on the mend.
ReplyDeleteThere are however a few outstanding details, such as:
- Did Dave remove your logic circuits?
- Since no mention of strange occurrences have been registered I presume my fallout boy costume is no longer required (I wonder if the comic shop will take back a slightly used costume? Oh well there's always craigs list.)
- Did you ever manage to improve the hospitals jello flavours?
- After your bouts with unconciousness did you remember to check your watch to see if time stood still while you were out?
So many conspiracies...so little time.

Are you like Hansel when you srick your bony finger through the slats only your bony finger is real? Do you want chocolates from Italy? So glad you are home and I hope when I see you your stick insect body will have grown wings and a nice chubby exo skeleton.
ReplyDeleteRemember to drink plenty of chicken soup. If it's good enough for 1000000000 mothers to feed their kids it's good enough for you. Enjoy home it's where you want to be,
