The countdown has begun!
Just a few more hours still I get to walk out of the hospital a “free
woman” J John and I have met with the nutritionist
& thoroughly reviewed all of the details of my nutropenic diet. John picked up all of my prescriptions from
the pharmacy & brought them in this morning so that the hospital pharmacist
could meet with us & review everything.
John just took a cart full off my stuff down to the car & now we are
just sitting around waiting for the doc to write my official discharge
orders. I can’t wait to breathe fresh
air for the first time in nearly a month…but most of all I can’t wait to hold
my little man! We will be going straight
from the hospital to daycare to pick him up this afternoon J
I am SO excited to be going home this afternoon but with
that excitement comes some anxiety. I
sure as heck don’t want to come back to the hospital if I can help it
(obviously) and John has prepared the house very well for me coming home. I just hope that my GVHD rash on my skin can
be managed with the topical steroid cream and that I won’t experience any GVHD
of the gut (my nurse who did my original discharge education session mentioned
that most readmissions are due to GVHD of the gut & not being able to
absorb medications adequately.
Peace out Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Hospital… I HOPE I NEVER
HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE BMT UNIT AGAIN!
