Happy Sad


I am happy to say that I am going home today baring any unforeseen circumstances that prevent me from being discharged around 1:00 PM today.  I can't wait to be home, even though I will not be sleeping in my own bed.  Hospice has delivered a bed for me.  Our plan is to have an honest talk with our children this weekend, or in the near future, and that will be the most difficult thing.  

On Wednesday they drained 2.5 liters and put in a semi permanent drain. Thursday I had the  Celiac Plexus Block procedure.  They do not use general anesthisa for either procedures so I was awake the whole time.   Both procedures were very painful, and I won't be doing that again.

The goal is to keep me comfortable, which doesn't sound like a bad one, does it?  I feel like my pain is under control, whether that is attributed to the drugs or the procedures, I will take it.

    So glad to hear you are headed home! And wonderful that you are having some relief from pain, that is thrilling news. I'm sure nobody knows the perfect words for you to use with the children, Leah, but I am sure whatever you say will be done with such love and care and good intent, and they will feel that.

    Leah - your attitude is amazing. I think of you and pray for you often. It will be painful for you to tell the kids but with you and Brian alone with them to tell them - it will be something all will be able to process. I will be praying for you all during this time. I know this is a hard time - I have not talked a ton to you but I want you to know that I care. Keep smiling Leah - for your smile is wonderful.

    Love, Doreen
