Bye-bye hospital, hello home (I hope)

They sent me home to Diane's on Saturday. I hadn't had a fever for about five says, so they were satisfied that the infection had backed off. I do have a bad cough, but they said it's probably just irritation from the infection. So they gave me cough medicine with codeine and said not to worry about it. Also, I'm still losing weight and having trouble keeping food down. Solution: take a little Ativan before meals, getting hungry and sleepy at the same time. I do have some Compazine, but it doesn't work as well.

Melissa said that if my bloodwork looks OK tomorrow, I might be able to have clinic visits twice a week, Monday and Thursday, instead of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If I drop down to twice a week, I could go home for the weekend, which I really would love to do.

Diane and David are being great. They wash my clothes, make my dinner and are very helpful in terms of both my emotional and physical needs. But I want to go home!
