Light at the End of the Tunnel

I'm so close I can almost see myself at home hanging out in my hammock rather than this hospital room! My numbers are holding steady, platelets at 240,000ish, and they are telling me that I can go home tomorrow. They are planning on taking the central line out of my neck today. Woohoo! I'm still trying to convince the doctor that I should be able to go home today, but I'm just happy that there is an end in site.

Liz came over last night and gave me a hair cut in the hospital, that is fantastic service right there! And did my make up and took pictures, crazy lady. A good night all around though. Kelly also stopped by to hang out with me and her husband Andrew who happens to work on my floor and she brought brownies. Nothing against hospital food, but oh how I heart chocolate.

I met the other woman on the floor who was admitted with TTP and we did a few short strolls up and down the hallway. I think she will be in here longer than I was because she's not as active and has other medical issues. It made me think that two weeks for a disease like this really isn't too bad. Still it's hard when I can see my street from my hospital window and just think home is 20 blocks away.
