Heading home today!

Yesterday was a rough day. After gradually getting better each day, the transition from epidural and IV pain relief to oral meds set me back. I started to develop stomach cramps which lead to a few episodes of nausea. The pain relievers and anti-nausea meds knocked me out and I went from being alert and active to sleeping all day. I had no appetite or energy. It was decided that it would be best if I stayed another night until things stabilized. I was able to get up and shower, as well as, eat a little something for dinner that evening.

I have a whole list of medications to take but best of all, I will not have to give myself shots of Lovenox!  That would have entailed a self administered shot in my stomach for twenty-eight days.

Today, I didn't have any more nausea attacks and feel more alive, so after going through all of the discharge procedures, I'll be out of here and home with David and the kitties.

Had great care when I was here. Here is a view out of the window of my room. Not a great view but I was able to see the morning star (Venus) rise if it was clear.

Got some beautiful flowers from my Colorado family.

Very spring-ish.


Upon getting home I crawled into bed with Daphne on my chest and had a nice long nap!
