Day 12

As many of you already know I was discharged yesterday and now I'm home! It was a lot sooner than I expected. In the morning the doctors came in and told me my white blood cells went up to 3.7! Then they started mentioning I could probably go home. I was a little nervous about coming home because my numbers were higher but not high enough for normal. All the doctors agreed including my Gastroenterologist that I can go home. Before I left they gave me one last platelet transfusion because the number did drop. Towards the end of the transfusion I start to get so itchy! I end up breaking out in rashes all over my body, it felt like I had the chicken pox! They gave me Benadryl through my IV and it worked pretty quickly. Soon enough I knocked out and when I woke up my rashes were gone.

My last platelet transfusion! 

I was given papers for future blood tests, appointments, medicine and I was out of there! When I went outside it felt so good. I was a little warm because I was used to just a hospital gown and pj pants. Now I had on a sweater, pants, top and it made me feel a little warm. The breeze outside felt good and cooled me down. We walked to the park that was always in my view but didn't go to far up. I became tired so we headed back to the car to finally go home. I was still a little drowsy from the Benadryl and I took a nap. While I was napping I could hear Jonathan cleaning EVERYTHING with the Lysol wipes and spray. He's so awesome. I finished off my night with a lovely salmon dinner and went to sleep in my own bed! My sheets felt so good and comfortable, I missed it. I have to admit I do miss the bed at the hospital. I loved that I can just push a button and it went up and down. Well, I'm home and it feels good. I still have a lot of appointments and blood tests to do. I'll still be updating this blog with what is happening.

I had to take one last look at this wonderful view. It's so much better in person!

Thank you everybody for checking on me, praying for , sending good vibes to me and supporting me. I couldn't have done it without everybody and a huge thank you to my lovely Jonathan. It's not over though, I still have ways to go until I'm completely okay.
