My nurse Sarah let me sleep quite late this morning, which was very nice. I must be getting used to the sound of the Ukranian lady coughing up a lung.
Since I had no IV anymore I was able to just potter around and get myself ready to be showered. I worked out Sarah is the only nurse who knows where the shampoo is…she probably has a secret stash for her patients.
When the Doctor came round he asked me how I felt and if I would like to stay another day or if I wanted to go. As much as I felt nervous about not having people around me all the time I knew if I put it off I would feel more scared in the long run.
The Doctors answered all my questions and while I was waiting for my medications to be put together I hung out with Brydie who came in like clockwork, giving me all her updates.
Ruth came down for her lunch and I spent a while going over my medicines with the pharmacist (if you shake me, I may rattle).
When I was done I was ready to leave and I had this overwhelmed feeling come over me, all I could do was get upset. Lou was there and Sarah had lots of kind words to say (with the Ukranian woman coughing up her last lung which made us all to laugh…I think she always has the last word…or cough in her case). I told her that sound was going to be my new ringtone. We grabbed my stuff, I thanked everyone and Lou took me home.
It was a wierd but great feeling to be going home.
