Well Howdie everyone. I am still in Raleigh, but I am out of the hospital!
Dr. McElveen came by my room this morning and discharged me. He just told me to take it easy and to make sure and watch for a sign of infection. Signs that I need to worry about are if my temperature gets over 100 twice in a row, and also steady drip of liquid from my nose. So if either of those happen, I have to call him right away.
It snowed all last night and most of today. The roads were too bad to drive home. My dad will feel safer driving home tomorrow when the roads are more cleared off.
So tonight we are in the hotel room again, and it sure is great to be able to relax without any interuptions. The hospital is supposed to be a place to rest, and they are bugging you at all hours of the night for some reason or another.
Isaiah is being very gentle with me. I keep having to remind myself not to pick him up. It’s so tempting! But, I guess I better play it safe and resist the erge to pick him up and give him a huge squeeze. But he has been cuddling with me quite a bit today on my lap.
Whenever I spoke with Dr. McElveen this morning, I asked him if they knew yet if it was a menigioma and schwannoma combination. He said that no, it was just a menigioma. I am just super glad that ugly thing is out of there now. It was very deep and I am grateful that they got it out without doing any more damage.
I know I keep saying this, but if all goes well I should be home by tomorrow. Everyone take care until then!
