Going Home!

The doctors pulled my drain out this morning and my PICC (a type special IV central line) will be pulled out before lunch. The doctors are just finishing up my discharge paperwork and the nurses need to sort out my medications and then I can GO HOME! I've spent 23 days in the hospital and undergone some terrible things in that time. It has definitely been the hardest physical and mental exercise of my life. It feels great to have this phase of my cancer treatment done but I know there is more of the same coming down the road. In the next few months I plan to enjoy my time at home and make the best of spring in Calgary. Thanks to all of you for the support over these past weeks.
