Thank you all so much for expressing as much delight as I'm feeling. Sleeping in my own bed was indescribable. Thank you to those who sent me beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, fresh flowers are off limits, as are live plants, etc. That's ok. They're now decorating Mom's room. I came home to a house decorated with streamers and balloons. How wonderful! Even though it took us about two hours to get home from Manhattan and I just about made it to the bathroom in time!!!
It's wonderful to be sitting here in my room, watching the snow fall.
I am honestly overwhelmed by the amount of love and caring you have shown me during this period. Crazy that it took something so drastic for me to realize how much love there is around me.
I have an appointment with the doctor on Monday at 10am. I will probably need transfusions at that time. This will go on for a while. I just don't want to end up back in the hospital. They told me on my way out that it's not uncommon to be readmitted after this procedure. I understand that...but I still don't want it.
Trying to get into some kind of normal routine here. I suspect it may take a while. But I'm looking forward to this Shabbos (Sabbath) at home with my family. I still can't really believe I'm here.
Please, keep me in your prayers and have a wonderful Shabbos/weekend.
remember, only mevushal wine for kiddish.

Leah,
ReplyDeleteGreat that your home.
Look forward to seeing you when you are able.
Love,
Cindy and Jack
Leah - You sound awesome. Glad you are doing well at home. I am sure things will go well, and with that said - I am believing you WONT have to be readmitted. They told me 20% end up back, so the odds are with you. Keep doing what they say, and no worries about the transfusions. I had my transplant on August 16, and my last transfusion October 25. Everyone is different, but that is how mine went. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteLove ya.
