I'm home

Sorry to everyone, haven't put a post out for a few days. Well I'm finally home! Got home Wednesday around 17:30. Feels good to be home, got to see the kids and have my own bed. The boys were happy to see me. Right from the beginning Liam had a big smile on his face. Aaron was a little strange. Aaron gave me a strange look, then took my hand and sat with me. After about 1/2 hour Aaron was back to normal. Taylor was happy I was home.

Well I'm taking it easy. Still feel pretty worn out. This might be partly to do with the fact I haven't been sleeping that well at night even though I was taking sleeping pills. MY hips and back were pretty sore from the hospital bed. Well my first night at home was nice, still didn't sleep that well but at least hips and back fell better. Hopefully withing 2-3 weeks will start feeling better from what doctors have said. Also hopefully within this time will start to eat a little bit more. I've lost about 20pds. Now that I'm home can try eating a few different things. I don't really have a big appetite, the boys are probably eating as much as me. My stomach kinda feels strange and I have a weird taste/sensation in my mouth. Doesn't feel like nausea.

The nice thing is I don't have a pile of meds to take. All I was given was some anti-nausea pills to take as needed. I need to go for blood work once a week. Likely will have to Bonnyville to the cancer center to get blood work done. If I.m lucky can do it here it town. We want to do the blood work through my central line and Cold Lake generally does not work with them, thats why Bonnyville. We are trying to avoid sticking me to draw blood because my blood platelettes are still low. The blood platelettes are what causes the clotting. I mentioned earlier that I lost whatever hair I had left on the old coconut. I've got some hair growingback but it looks like peach fuzz. I have lost my facial hair, so fair eybrows and eyelash holding on. From what we can tell stem cell replacement seems to have taken and is working. On July3 back in Edm for a follow up appt and will know what exactly is going on.

Well tonight we are going to celerbrate to boys 2nd bday. THey turned 2 on May28. The ususal hot dogs, cake n' ice cream. The boys will have a few of their freinds over. THe only other thing I know has to get done is my one twirlly bird is squeaking pretty good. This will have to wait, I know I'm not crwaling up on the roof anytime soon.
