I'm home!!! As soon as I got my blood counts this morning and realized that they might be high enough for me to go home, I had my nurse leave a message for my doctor. She was nice enough to come up and discharge me at about 9:15am. She usually doesn't come until after noon, so she must have known how desperately I wanted to go home. As soon as I called Deb she came down and we left the hospital at about 10:30. Wow, it sure feels good to be home. This is the half-way point for my hospital stays anyway, I have two more to go and they will probably both be at City of Hope Hospital. I feel pretty tired today and I haven't done much, just a few things around the house tired me out. I have an appointment at Kaiser Sunset to meet with the bone marrow doctor on March 6th, so I won't have any details until then. I have an appointment with my doctor this Friday and they will make sure my counts are still going up. I am still on the low-bacteria diet until they are back to normal. Like the last time I was home, I probably won't write every day until I go back in the hospital again. God bless you all and please keep praying!
IN HIS HANDS,
