Well I am definately getting to go home today. My PT/INR keeps dropping
but the dr just is going to let me take the lovenox injections at home
myself. I can do that. Next post will be from home.(Fingers crossed).
I asked them to give me the at home abx here for the first dose to make
sure I don't have a reaction to it. Never head of it before --
daptomycin. So here's hoping it all goes well. Cyberhugs - Diane W

:-) Travel well,,,, thanks for the updates and to be honest about it,,,, I

do not blame your doctors. Your condition is serious and complicated.
You handle it all very well. Better than I would for sure.

I'm not so sure about that Harv. This place has really gotten their
proverbial poop together since I was here in 2000. I don't know if its
this new wing or the whole hospital but I couldn't have had better care
if I'd had a private duty nurse 24/7. Anyone could handle that! Now
that I'm getting better I actually realize how sick I was. I can't
really remember too much about last Thur-Friday. And I'm awfully weak.
And yes, I'm still here. They are going to give me my first dose of
the new IV med here before I go which I requested on the outside chance
I have an allergic reaction to it. And then the hospital pharmacy is
filling my scripts and sending them up to me before I go. Nice. I
always hate having to stop at the pharm on the way home when you are
already feeling punky. Cyberhugs, DianeW

whew! (i decided i missed a bunch. so, i backtracked through your older
posts.) boy, you've been through the mill. i'm glad you are feeling much
better and getting to go home today, dianew. still keeping you in my
prayers.

sometimes, christmas isn't about baking and the hectivities that often
exhaust us. sometimes, it's mostly about the warmth and stillness of love
and appreciation. sometimes, you don't get to learn that until you aren't
permitted to do or to drive for a couple of months.<smile> take it easy,
sweetie, you don't have to make christmas happen--just allow it to happen
and go with the flow.
