Day Twelve

I wanted to say that the staples were officially removed this morning. 36 in my back, 25 in my front. It all went really well, and I was thankful I didn't have to wait until Monday to get them removed. The nurse thought the ones in my back wouldn't have lasted that long, as they were already really irritating my skin at this point.

I have one more home health visit on Monday to go through the official discharge paperwork, and I'll meet with my case manager at the hospital sometime on Monday as well. Until then my plan is to continue to improve yet take it easy; I really want to make sure I'm in prime condition for our trip back home next week, which we're hoping to do in just one day. I'm really, really ready to be back home - we both are!
