Home Bound!

We have been told that we are going home today. We're expected to breakout around noon, but it could happen at any time. There's always the chance that the doctors could change their minds and decide she needs to spend another day here. I don't think they realize that they should have a SWAT team on standby if they even attempt that. Caren would summon the energy to go psycho-ninja doctor-killer on them! I think we're leaving today with or without their consent. I just hope I'm not high-tailing it up 1st Avenue with NYPD ESU in tow.

She's spent the morning cleaning herself up, even the Dilaudid can't suppress the OCD. Of course, the simple act of washing her face makes her so tired she needs a nap before putting on deodorant. I think the sheer excitement of going home is driving her forward. Right now she needs a shower (those are her words, not my assessment of her level of cleanliness - I'm brave, but not that brave), some comfy clothes, a good meal and her own bed.

I actually spent the night recovering from something. I don't know if it was just my sinuses, or I ate something bad or my body just released all the pent up pressure when we learned that she was going home, or a combination of all of the above, but I got ill yesterday afternoon. Headache, vertigo, nausea and I even threw up once. Fortunately, it didn't persist, so I don't think I'm harboring any contagions. My head is still a bit sore, but it feels like sinuses. The air down here just doesn't move. When we got the bad storm on Friday night, it must have stirred up everything laying around and sent my sinuses bonkers. It also didn't help that the beautiful flowers I brought Caren earlier in the week were growing a lovely strain of mold hidden deep inside the bouquet - looked OK on the outside, my worst nightmare on the inside.

So far, so good today. Tensions are a little high, just because we are anxious to get out ASAP. I'll post again if I can, but more than likely, the next post will be from home!!!!!!!
