A nice bright sunny morning and the last day I\u2019ll see this view.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a good night, the 1st full night off the IV and my morning vitals are looking good. After a leisurely breakfast and shower the nurse returns and informs me that I\u2019m getting some IV fluids, surprise! It will take 2 hours and it\u2019s 10am now. I ask about getting discharged. \u201cYou need to see the doctor 1st\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I talk with the doctor and things are all good. I ask if I can leave now. \u201cYou need to see the pharmacist\u201d. OK, no problem, especially because he shows up a few minutes later and reviews my meds going forward, what to stop, what to put on hold for a while, and a couple of new things to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s now noon and the nurse is back to disconnect the IV. I ask if I\u2019m good to go now. \u201cI need to finish up some paperwork and then you\u2019re good to go\u201d. Turns out this is the last hurdle and we get the paperwork, say good-bye to the ward staff an head on out to meet Kathy at her car waiting in the pickup loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a short drive we\u2019re \u201chome\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After unpacking and a short nap it\u2019s a lovely home cooked meal. So tasty and so nice to eat at a real table with other people, especially when they are two of my favourites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First \u201chome\u201d meal in 14 days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The hospital and staff were great for getting my treatment done, but it\u2019s so nice to be on the outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
