Home Sweet Home

Yippee!! Mike's home!

The resident corps swept in this morning before 6. They removed the cast from Mike's left arm, took staples out from the two graft sites and stitches from his chin, and rather unceremoniously declared - OK, that's it - you are free to go home! And just like that, the discharge plans and preparations began in earnest. We got the requisite training on wound care and dressing changes, set up a follow-up appointment for later this week, loaded up flowers and cards from the room, filled prescriptions, and drove home. HOME! What a good feeling.

Mike is settling into bed now, hoping to sleep well today (for the first time in over a week) and continue with the process of healing. I am going to take a nap so that I am clear-headed enough to write a paper that's due tonight (ack!) for my sociology class.

Once again, a huge thank you for all your love and support over the past week. I know that it contributed to Mike's remarkably speedy recovery.
