I AM HOME!!!! After my recent hospital stay, the Doctors not only discharged me from the hospital but also told me I can go back home to Roseville. After two months in San Francisco and a total of 25 days in a hospital bed I was ready!!! My fear of going home disappeared since I would still be monitored with twice a week labs and I still had access to my 24 hour transplant team.
We left SF in the pouring rain and I became the worst back seat driver...sorry Joe! The combination of the rain, not being on a freeway for two months and my steroids made me a very nervous person. My nerves went away as soon as we pulled into the driveway. I was home! I actually cried when walking through my house. This was the first step in getting back to my "new" normal life and I no longer felt like the transplant patient stuck in SF.
Overall, I am feeling good. I still get tired easily and my back hurts after standing/walking for long periods but I still feel so much better than before my transplant. I can't lift more than 20 pounds and still can't drive but enjoy getting out of the house. Jenny took me shopping yesterday and I had a blast. I also love visitors so feel free to come visit me!
I think Sammy is even more excited to be home. He was a good city dog but he missed our couch and hated not having a backyard.
My road to recovery continues but like Dorothy said, "THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!"
