I have been putting my steps in, keeping mobile. Gobbling all the antibiotics for all the infections. Trying to stay moving as my hemoglobin drops in over half. Having diarrhea all the time. Trying to croak just days before. A lot has turned around in a fast pace (if you can call a whole month in the hospital fast). This is girl is super grateful and happy to be alive. That Is the main glowing thought on my brain right now. I am filled with happiness and hope. I can swallow and sort of taste food again. All wins. Naturally my family is nervous about me coming home. They don't want me to rush. I tell them not to worry. That is definitely not what is going on here. There has been no rushing. I have no great impetus to hurry home in a rushed fashion. Of course I would love to go home...when it's safe. I told them we have to trust that my doctors aren't just trying to get rid of me. We are trying to strike that fine line of compromise and safety. If it ends being earlier than we thought, sounds like a win to me for all mine and their hard work. We have spent too much time with being scared. Now is the time for cautious optimism not fear. We have come too far. The doctors believe in me. My family can believe in me too. I know they can. Cheers to the thought of going home and beginning the next part of the adventure! Dr. Katz | | | |
