Slept better last night just not long enough. Frittered the day away with shower, walks, Dr talks etc. Dr. S said he felt there was nothing more they could do, that if I had solid meals and felt good I could go at 6pm or stay another night. Dr C agreed and said it was up to me and should I experience any vomiting or other severe symptoms once home, to come back. I also got her to look at the mole on my back that feels odd and she took pictures to send to my Dr. agreeing it looked like it needed a biopsy. Might as well get everything taken care of at once. After overhearing the Drs, the lady across the way with a severe form of what I have choked up a bit and wished I was going to be there to see how she did with her surgery tomorrow. I must take a get well card and drop it for her. She was very nice after being so cranky the first day I was there. I think she was sad and lonely and she thanked me for helping her get through this. I tell you, I could never do what those nurses do. Angels is an understatement. No one can possibly go into that field unless they are real caring humans. Lunch arrived, my first full meal since last Wednesday and of all things it was fish and chips. That is not a food I expect to see in a hospital and it lived up to my low expectations. I was hungry and wanted to be sure I wouldn’t get sick if I ate so I did. Brett, the IT guy at the GroundFloor took a good chunk of his Sunday to get a laptop ready to remote and dropped off it and paperwork from my office for me to the front desk and I was so grateful. He even left a lovely message for when I logged on. I got a payroll prepped and ready for review. Sent it off to the client in Victoria awaiting approval to upload for payments and the internet disconnected. I couldn’t get signed back on and that combined with what I ‘d had for lunch convinced me it was time to get dressed and pack up. I did and then put the call to the nurse that I would be ready at her convenience to leave. It was over an hour later when she came with the paperwork and right then dinner arrived. I thought if it looked good I wouldn’t waste it. She saw it at the same time and we both thought it was the worst thing for intestinal issues. Rice, cauliflower and what I read to find out was turkey. That made me even more happy about my decision. I had called Ashlée about a ride and she was a little cagey. I then found out she had let Missy out and she wouldn’t come back. She did find my keys though so that was a positive. Just before she left to get me the cat came back
I had a good reunion with Missy and checked out my new water system as I had forgotten the Culligan Man was at my house when I left for the ER. There is a chrome tap installed until my matte black one comes in to match the taps. I also unpacked the doors for across the area and found them to be unpainted. This is very frustrating as they took 4 months and 3 days to arrive. I took pictures and will go to Home Depot to see if I have any recourse. In the meantime I leaned them in place and I love how they will make everything look so much bigger and cleaner. I didn’t do much message follow up or anything except finished processing the payroll and responded to work email as I have physio in the morning for my vertigo. Can’t miss that.
It is good to be home.
