The "H" Word

The doctor just left and told me that they're in the process of making all of the necessary arrangements to send me HOME. Thank God!

They just removed the stitches from the skin biopsies. They've reduced my Prednisone dose by another 5mg. Since the meds make my glucose high, they're sending someone in to train me to check my glucose and give myself insulin -- something I don't know why they didn't do the first time they sent me home, but at least it'll be done now. They're trying to arrange for the IV antibiotics to be administered at home. They're also going to give me Pentamadine, which is a prophylaxis anti-pneumonia medication. They tried to give it to me once before but I had an allergic reaction to it. They're going to try it again but they're going to give me Benadryl first. I'll be sure to get a prescription for PT.

I still have pain in my abdomen when I take a deep breath and I still have the skin abcesses but Thank God they're both tolerable.

I feel so blessed -- I didn't even consider that I might be home before the weekend. I'm so grateful to all of you for your never ending support and prayers and good wishes, for seeing me through this bump in my road to recovery. You just GOTTA believe in miracles!
