I did get to leave the hospital yesterday and it was wonderful and overwhelming at the same time. It was such a weird feeling leaving after being couped up in that room. And yes, there this is a lot of fear of getting sick and having to go back, but they said all these feelings are normal. Ha, what is normal anymore. I could barely stop crying as I was leaving the floor and then we got into the car and I started crying again! I'm at my aunt Sheri's right now for a couple days but hope to be back home Friday evening or Sat morning.
Seeing Evalyn after not seeing her for two weeks was amazing. It almost felt like a daze. She looked at me a smiled and made a happy sound, came to me, and gave me a hug and kiss. It was wonderful. I can't believe all the stuff she has learned how to do in just 3 weeks! Jonathan took her back to Athens that evening so I could rest and go to my appointment on Friday. I can't wait to be home. My mom has already been amazing with helping me take care of myself and making sure that I eat. Let me tell ya, today, I ate a lot! My docs will be so proud. I am having a little rash thing going on and still coughing but hopefully those won't be big issues. I see Dr. K tomorrow, which always makes me feel better. One of my medications give me the worse taste in my mouth, it's awful, there has to be something I can do about that. Energy is still low, but I'm going on walks and trying to do more and more to get stronger.
Right before we left the hospital and man stopped by, he posted on the last blog, and was very encouraging. He said that he has seen my name on my door and recognized it from the Fox story and then looked me up on the web. I was so out of this this round in the hospital, it didn't really get to say how much my nurses and nurse tech did for me and how amazing they are. There was also a lady that would volunteer and play her harp in the hallway, it was so peaceful to listen to her play. There were also volunteers that would stop by to say hey and one day a sweet lady walked the floor with me. I heard that some of my friends did some yardwork for us and someone else sent us some money. We are truly blessed. I know there will be a time that God will call upon me to do the same for others and I hope to do so with gladness in my heart.
