(Hospital room view)
Today I get to be discharged. :)
Right now Eric is down in the cafeteria getting breakfast and I am sitting in my hospital bed getting really excited to begin this next chapter of Life. That chapter started this morning when one of my doctors said results of blood tests showed my cortisol levels were undetectable. This is awesome news for support of Thursday's surgery being a success. Further testing over the next few weeks will really nail things down, but this initial test was a big scary monster of expectation. ...And I passed.:) We have a lot to be grateful for. Mass General is a really good hospital. They have excellent staff, expertise, and facilities. We also have awesome friends and family who give us lots of loves and support. The hard part is over. To say we are anxious to go back to Oklahoma and watch my body morph back to its familiar shape/size and energy/strength/health would be a slight understatement. :) We know we are lucky. We enjoyed some of that luck on Saturday. Eric surprised me with a St. Patrick's Day cupcake. (Don't worry... he also downloaded music from Riverdance and fancied himself a little jig too.)
I'm glad to hear that things are going well. Our prayers are with you! --Sister Stiles
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah that sounds super intense! I am not incredibly into medical details (they kinda make me gag) but I hope that you are doing better and I am glad that it sounds like you are on the road to recovery!
