I'm Out!

Friday ws the day, but it wasn't an early exit from the hospital. My hydration after Thursday's chemo continued through the night and finally ended at 4:30 Friday afternoon. I was eager to get off, but then I had to have 2 bags of blood. So Imelda came, brought the laptop and we watched 'Click', that new Adam Sandler film, and ate pizza. I finnaly got out of hospital about 9pm.

It feels great to be home and be able to look at non blank walls. Watch what I want on TV, and generally be lazy around the house.

The Doc said I will start to become neutropenic over the weekend and most of next week so I'll be taking it easy and not seeing many people. I am determined to not get an infection and end right back in hospital. I want the full three weeks at home.

Glad to hear you're out, Tom. Those last drops of chemo/hydration/blood always seem to drip out really slowly when you're desperate to get home, don't they? Hope you get your three weeks of freedom.
