Jen has been discharged from the hospital, but we are waiting here at Providence Cancer Center until all the formalities (such as the lost prescriptions, for instance) are set straight. She'll probably be home by 7:00 PM Pacific.
When first confronted with the fact of her release, Jen experienced a wave of PTSD-like dread. Even to me, the fact that she was this close to an exceedingly serious condition after her last release is kind of abstract. To her it's still a very real and present thing. Through tears, she said to me, "I'm not sure if there's something I should be worried about…something that can happen that I'm not thinking of, or not." That made my heart break.
But, at the moment, she is feeling pretty good, and I expect that she will feel great when she walks in (to a super-clean house!) and sees those joyfully cats running toward her.
We'll let you know how it goes.
Hi my two sweets. I love you so much and think about you both everyday. Tony...I really appreciate the writing and frequency of the blog entries. You are a phenomenal writer. Glad to hear the ups are taking over. Jen...seeing the kitties will give you a little boost :-) filled with cute fuzziness.
