Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreetings blog readers, from Hays, Kansas! Prayers
have been answered, and we got home around 3 pm! As you can already
guess, I had a good night, obviously! Granted, I summoned for water and
pit stops on a couple of occasions but we're used to that by now! My
O2 sats held throughout the night without any supplemental O2, the x-ray
was clear this morning, and my lab #'s were on the money!
After
me and the fam talked yesterday about how ready we were to leave, it
was kind of unsettling when we stepped back and looked at the
situation! We had been all but ready to leave on a couple of occasions
in the preceding month, but had encountered a couple of hiccups. Glad
we got the hiccups there and not after we arrived home, which is where
the unsettling part comes in - OMG, are we really ready to go home?!
The easy, obvious answer is HECK YES, but what if............?! A wise
man once said you can spend your whole life worrying about the what
if's, live for the moment.
They'd been saying all along about
how they'd have us outta there by 10am if we were in fact dismissed and
danged if the train wasn't running early! Don't know too many
incidences of early that go on in a ginormous joint like that, but I
wasn't complaining! Next it was off to the Donho to pack the rest of
our belongings and give her a scrub before checking out. Gemmie and I
hammered down some mid morning snacks before hitting the road. By 11am
we were west bound and down. We had a layover in Topeka with some lunch
to go before napping the rest of the way home!
Never, ever had I been so excited to see Bosco - and man was he glad to see us! After we had unpacked the family truckster, it was time to fire up the barbie. For the past two or three days, I had repeatedly asked the rents to grill us some steaks, with shaw shaws (Gemmie lingo for french fries), salad, and ice cream for a meal. We had the best meal ever, mostly because it was at home with my family - no nurses, care assistants, doctors, etc! We could've eaten a stale sandwich of expired lunchmeat and moldy cheese and it still would've been the best meal ever, just cause we were home!
As Dorothy said, "There's no place like home!" I hope you all are well, I love you, and I will continue to keep you updated! I have a chest x-ray and labs next Monday and Friday here in good old Hays, America! Gotta get my rest, so I can roughhouse with Gemmie and Bosco! Peace, out, Beanie
