WOO WEE Home Sweet Home

[crecco]

  Ahhhh! Here I sit with a beer and a cigarette. No not really, but it feels that good.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes. I know they worked because I got to come home today.
  No more harrrrrrrgh harrrrrrgh ptew from the guy across the hall and no more religious music blaring at 2am. That right there was enough to make anyone want to leave, no matter how sick they were.
  I am still on antibiotics and my platelet count is still low so there is a possiblity I will have to have another transfusion this week, but my white and red counts are back to normal. We will resume chemo at a much lower dosage next Mon.

  I want you all to know how much you all mean to me. Knowing you were pulling for me really helped boost my spirits. Now give me a day or two and I will be back on posting just like before.
Thank you TC for keeping everyone updated, and thank you Kasie for all of the junk food, just what a fat girl needs after being in the hospital and trying to stomach what they pass off as food.
  I love you all and will tlak to you soon.
     Love Chris

You sound good .. and ready to fight.  I've been on antibiotics for 17 days for the infection above my port .. no diarrhea, thank God.  I had chemo in my hand all week (left the needle in .. no problems).  Wishing you the best on all your results.  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.  Judy

Thank you for all of your well wishes. I am feeling a little better each day now. The biggest problem I am having is diarreah from the antibiotic.
It is taking me a little while to get my strength back, but I figure it will be close to normal just in time for me to go to the Dr on Mon and resume chemo. But thankfully at a lower dosage. The cellulitis is still there but gradually going away. I hope it is gone soon as I look all lopsided since one side of my stomach is lots bigger than the other. (It looks like I slept on my side and all of my fat ran to one side and stayed there!)
  Hopefully I will also get the results back for the fluid they tested from my lungs, and I should have my CA drawn on Mon too. After what I went through the past 2 weeks, the gemzar/avastin combo had better be working.
  Love to you all,
    Chris

Glad to hear you're back home.  Your dog must have missed you terribly and vice versa.

Welcome Home Chris!!  You are very welcome for the junk food.  I know all too well, what hospitals try to pass off as food.  lol  I am so glad you are feeling better and that  you got to go home much sooner than expected.  It was so good to see  you.  Hope we can get together again, but under better circumstances.  Hope you continue to feel well.  Love, Kasie

Glad your home, missed you. How about some old fashion just rock and roll. Will put the stero on for you and dance around the house, for you with my cane. As for the beer, to early, maybe later, a cigarette sounds good too. will talk to you soon

[JC145]

[lvfrogs]

What??? You don't like religious music at 2am? You prefer RAP? LOL
So glad that you are home, there is no place like home. Can you have a cig and a beer? I don't like cigs but do enjoy beer and that sounds good right now! I am raising my pretend beer (too early for a real one - at least before work) to a continued recovery and no more hospital stays! Hugs, Colleen

I'm SO glad to hear that you're back home now.  I was nervous for you.  Congrats!

Just so that you won't miss the hospital so much, you should sit around the house making disgusting noises while listening to a religious music station. : )

Take care, Chris.

Best news I've had today. Love your spitoon guy. Just think of how quiet and dull it will be at home now. Ahhh, I can see that smile on your face. As Dorothy said, there's no place like home.

Hi Chris,
I am sorta new to the forum so we've never really "talked", but I am so happy to hear you are home from the hospital and are getting well.  The "harrrrrgh harrrrrgh ptew from the guy across the hall" had me hysterical.  I'm praying for your continued improvement.

Hi Chris,
I'm so glad you're home and feeling better, prayers and best wishes that you stay that way!

So happy to hear you are back home.  I hope your next chemo goes ok and hopefully you won't have to have a transfusion.  

Take Care,
Linda
