Today there will be no chemo. What a relief. Unfortunately I am feeling the aches and pains and lots of nausea. I don't want to eat and I am trying to walk up and down the halls as much as I can.
Katie took 3 loads of stuff down to the car while we were waiting for me to be discharged. The wait was really long. The nurse taught Katie to flush the line of my catheter and do the dressing changes. I think we will be in the clinic enough so that she doesn't have to do it though.
The ride home was fairly peaceful and I enjoyed getting out of the hospital to escape its wrath. I came home and went right into my routine and got the mail (Katie, Ronan and Russ had a chuckle about that) but then it was up to my bed. Finally I'm at home in my bed, I have been anticipating this for 5 days and really wanting it the past 2. Katie filled my prescriptions and Russ picked them up for us.
I have not been online much for several days, but logged into my facebook and loved seeing all of the posts on my wall and encouragement for a full and speedy recovery. Unfortunately speedy is relative, but full will happen.
Katie will post a couple pictures a little later but for now, more napping.

I am still continuing to gather inspiration from Allen's fighting spirit. Although that same fighting spirit may cause me to revert to our childhood days -- I may have to pin him down and administer noogies. DAMMIT Allen...if you are in pain, TAKE SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER...or noogies are coming!! Katie & I have devised a secret system we think will root out the weak link in the equation -- Allen's will to seemingly "tough it out"... I'm pretty sure it'll work, Katie!
Although Allen is battling with everything he has, my man was worn out today. He was still funny as hell however...all the little Allen-mannerisms were there...the single eyebrow raise accompanying his wry smile has always been my favorite "Allenism". They are all just coming at a slower rate due to his meds...a slow motion single eyebrow raise is pretty damn funny to see, actually.
Had a great time tonight Al. Keep fighting the good fight...I love you.
Hi Allen! I'm glad to hear that you're at home and sleeping in your own bed. There's nothing like it. All the best to you, Katie and Mac!
