Good morning. Let's here it for another (almost) decent night's sleep last night! I think I finally figured out how to work it.The doctors were in a few minutes ago. They said that everything is coming along well. We need to clear up the diarrhea before I get to go home but it looks like it's clearing up with the help of the steroids. I didn't get platelets transfused yesterday but they said that I will today. Again, this is to prevent bleeding from the ulcer.
Once I do get to go home, I'll be coming back twice a week to see the doctors. The chest catheter stays in for future transfusions, which are expected. The doctor visits gradually taper off as do the transfusions. The thing that I really don't want to happen is a re-admission to the hospital. That's why I'm being very patient with going home. I'd rather put the time in now than have to come back.
I want to wish special Get Wells to Autumn, Marsha and Nava.
OK, they just hooked up my platelet transfusion along with a shot of Benadryl. So, I'll probably be drifting off to sleep in a couple of minutes. Thanks for being there. More later.
You look PRETTY IN PINK!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a restful day! THank you for your get well wishes. Baruch Hashem I am on the mend and best of all I am virtually painfree walking! Looking forward to hugging you in person!
Autumn
Thanks for thinking of me Leah when you have enough on your own plate. You are so special. I am glad to hear that you are on track and that things are coming along. You will be home before you know it. I have been one of the lucky ones that didn't have to be readmitted to the hospital so I am holding on to that for you too. Just do what they say, and keep smiling. You will be back to normal in no time.
ReplyDeleteLove ya.
Marsha

ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't posted a message in the past few days. I'm glad your numbers are continuing to go up and VERY excited to read that you may be going home by the weekend. I am in the 5 Towns every day and free from 9:15 to 12:45 so if you need anything, give a holler. By the way, love the headgear! Love, Alice
Hello Diva,
ReplyDeleteSorry to have been out of touch for a few days...traveling for business...everyone is asking about you and sending their love...gave your blog address to Debbie Friedman. She wants to to be in touch.
Although I am eagerly looking forward to your coming home, I agree you should not leave the hospital until you feel confident that you can manage.
We love you and pray for your recovery and good health.
