MFM update -- “The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.” -- Gloria Steinem

.
.
Sorry for not providing more of these -- progress has been slow but
steady every day, so there hasn't been any one event really worth
"reporting on".
.
Today, there is. I'M GOING HOME!!!!!
.

.
.
They held their weekly progress meeting and their conclusion was
that they were going to release me on Wednesday (the part of the
truth that pissed me off). I talked with the doctor and the social
worker and cleared up some misconceptions that they had (I don't
drive and, here in Tucson, the last time I had to go up or down ANY
steps was 10 years ago).
.
The part of the truth that's setting me free?
.
I'm going to go home on Saturday!!!!!
.

.
I have some catching up to do, some fixing to do and some basic
necessities to procure, but I think I can take care of 6 weeks worth of
inattention in 1, 2 days tops.
.
I am so glad go be going home. Thank you for all your well-wishes and
support, and perhaps especially, YOUR humor. All those things played
a big role in keeping my spirits up and positive and able to do the things
I needed to do in a minimum amount of time (though it SEEMED so long),
,
More soon -- probably let you know when I'm actually home.
.
Your Working Boy,

P.S. Woo-hoo!!!!!

It's been a long road for you but you've DONE IT!!!

Either that or the nurses hands are chapped from all the TTBBs and they need time to heal.

Best wishes.

...maybe ask them to let you stay until Monday. I hear it's supposed to be like 300° in Tucson on Saturday. <-----that is to show how hot it is, not that I'm pissed off at you.

Will they be having a going away party?

Always nice to get good news! It comes so infrequently these days.

Six weeks? Has it really been that long?
