Monday Sept 29 - Homeward Bound
On Monday Pat was able to go home. Yay! It was a day early according to what we were planning for, so we were excited that Pat was well enough to go home. The morning was spent getting last doses of meds, packing up our stuff and getting everything we needed for home. We left the hospital around 2pm and were home by 2:30. Even though it seems like an easy trip, it really took a lot out of Pat to come home. Little things are difficult after such a big surgery. He took a really long nap when we got home. He woke up for some dinner, pain medication and a dose of TV and then went to bed for the night. I had some anxiety at first being on our own at home, no more nurses. After a few calls to my sister, Michele who is a nurse, I was relaxed enough to go to bed too. We set our alarm for the middle of the night medication and got some shut eye.
