This is the inside view of the front entrance to the North Hills hospital. By the grace & mercy of my God, I will be walking out these doors in a matter of hours!
The doc came in with wonderful news about 10:30 this morning, saying that my blood level had jumped to 2.1! We were shooting for a minimum of 2.0 and here we are - not a moment too soon! She is writing up the discharge papers as I type and maybe I can be outta here shortly after Noon. I have to tell you one funny thing she said. When I was asking about the guidelines & parameters for my activities, etc., she said just to do my normal stuff, but no contact sports! Ha! I love it that she would think I look like I would do contact sports at my age! I guess it's obvious that I look fit, trim & muscular or she wouldn't even think of saying that, right?
I have to go get my INR checked at my primary care doc's office tomorrow. No problem. I have to get it checked 3 times over the next week while we are in Michigan - yes, that means I am cleared to travel. God has been exceedingly gracious to me during this ordeal. I am looking so forward to getting out and back to my normal routine.
So, back to what began this whole blog thing: my back. My lower back has felt wonderful during all this "down time" in the hospital. I have been taking regular walks up and down the hallway of my floor and am feeling great. My left foot still has lots of touch sensitivity and tightness and I still feel like I'm walking on a rock with each step, but it's tolerable and I'm very functional. However, I still need your prayers that my nerves will efficiently regenerate and that the struggles I am having in my legs & feet will one day vanish. But mostly today, I am rejoicing in getting dismissed from the hospital! Yay!
Prayers up!
