Day 6: SET FREE!

I was discharged home today! I am happy to be in my own environment. I sent Chris out to fill my prescriptions and now I feel like a 90 year old with all of these medications. I am going to have to get used to it as it will be my new “normal”. (I laugh because I am now the proud owner of an am/pm pill box J) Of course the CVS trip could not be uneventful. Poor Chris spent an hour there and then I still had to call. But, thank goodness I have an amazing woman on my team to help problem solve! We now have a solution and I can rest easy.
Being in the hospital was definitely a unique experience. I think it honestly will change how I practice nursing.  As my mom told me when I got diagnosed, “You will be a changed person”. I am beginning to believe her more and more every day.
All in all I am home, have my medications and I can relax and catch up on the DVR with Chris tonight. I am hoping to have a relaxing weekend at home as I have a big day on Monday.
 

P.S:  I think I enabled commenting from any email address (not specifically Gmail). Let me know if it worked!

Till next time…KMS

  3. Yay, free!! Glad you are back in your owm environment with Chris. Enjoy your weekend, I love you Katy O'Grady!
    Being a patient most definitely changes the way you practice nursing; I found that it made me more aware of the littlt things my patients may need; like being able to reach their phone without standing on their head! LOL.
    Hope to be able to visit soon!
