It is finally Friday. I have been looking forward to this day all week. I thought this was going to be my going home day but because of the way the chemo has been administered it looks like it won't finish until way late. So I will be discharged in the morning.
I had a great surprise, a visit from Jeanie. It was good to see her and catch up on things. It seems like forever since we have had a girl chat. Way too long. For years we sat next to each other at work and everything in our lives were known to each other. The good, bad and the ugly. It was way too short of a visit but wonderful. She came bringing gifts. A beautiful bracelet. Just like her to find the perfect gift.
Ross stopped by on his way home. Since I won't be going home today, it was good for him to get a early visit in so he could get home and get some rest himself.
The rest of the day I found myself more tired than I had been. I guess the chemo was taking a toll. I also found myself more emotional too. Not sure if I was just getting tired of the hospital, homesick, radiation and chemo or a combination of all three. I do know I am ready to be unhooked from all this and get home. I was able to get a nap in and some reading.
Around dinner time Carl called to check in. He and Danielle were meeting Amy and Keith in Orlando. The girls were running in the half marathon at Disney Saturday night. They have been training for the past month or so and really looking forward to it. Since I was being somewhat emotional tonight it was hard to say goodbye. Since Carl wasn't driving he started texting me and got me thru my slump. Ross and I are so blessed to have these great kids and now the great women in their lives.
