I'm Home Sweet Home!

Post by Rachel in NY »

Hi All!

I'm home, got home yesterday (monday) and its a great place :) Thanks for praying for my Giants - they won the superbowl. We watched the game in the hospital, a bunch of us. it was actually pretty cool. although next year i want the party in MY house, with hot dogs & pepsi & hot pretzles :D

All in all I'm doing ok. I still have sores in my mouth and a terrible earache/earaches (they keep popping) and I have a yeast infection thanks to all the antibiotics i was pumped with, but aside from those issues i'm feeling really good. (women only - what should i do about this its driving me insane) It was really crazy, this whole thing. after this i can't take a single breath for granted. you don't realize you breathe on your own and all and its painless and effortless, till you can't. whatever.

Now i'm just recovering at home, mostly relaxing bc i'm tired, and can't wait to get back to work, prob next week.

I also lost some weight - and those of you that know me know how hard it is for me to gain it back, and i hope i do get it back quickly.

anyway, thanks for your messages and all. see you laters. i'll be posting a bit more during the next few days bc i'll be around the pc.

glad you are home Rachel, I agree with Rik, you really should stop holidaying in that place.
I hope your ears settle down soon enough, and I hope that you have fun trying to put the weight back on (I'm on a diet, so I'm cutting down my food not piling it on).
Well great news that you're home hun.

Glad to hear your home.
