[thumb:197:l]I’m back in the “comfort” of my hotel room. Valerie & I waited around this morning until they would let us go home. They seemed to be paying much less attention to me as they have other days. Every other day it was up at 6 or 6:30 and then a shower, then medicines, then breakfast. Many other visits for blood pressure, temperature, etc . . . This morning they didn’t come until 7:30 and it was just to deliver breakfast. Then, they didn’t come back. Weird. Valerie finally went and tracked someone down and asked when we could go home. They said “Now.” That is all it took. No paperwork, no debrief, no nothing. We just took our bags and walked out the door. We will have to go back tomorrow morning to meet with the doctor as no one really gave us any information on recovery like when I should try to do different things.

After checking out, we went by Burger King and had some lunch. I only had a cheesburger and a diet coke since I hadn’t had any meat for 6 days. We then walked across the street to a drug store and picked up a few things. I wasn’t in too much pain, but in the drug store I started feeling tired and a little lightheaded. So, we headed back to the hotel for a long nap. I’m feeling good now. The pain is minimal and I’m very encouraged!!!

Two more days and we head home!!!
