This morning, six days after being admitted to my hospital room, I happened to be in the bathroom and looking at ( the nurse's call there. )

Somehow I read "PULL FOR HELP" as "PULL FOR HEEP", and was promptly very impressed that OHSU had an emergency supply of Uriah Heep.

As my dad pointed out, this train of thought was not the least bit out of the ordinary for me.

I'm hooome.



There are no more ports, lines or tubes coming out of my body, except for the expected naturally occuring ones. My wound is healing well. The dope is good. lasirenadolce has been a champion beyond reason, and I am surrounded by the love of my family and friends.

I'll be on opiates for the next week or ten days, so expected intermittent and not fully coherent communication, but by Ghu I am back.
