It's Good To Be Home
I'm still recuperating. Taking antibiotics and pain medicine. I spent all morning in bed, surrounded by three loyal cats. Now I am going to try sitting up for a while, and get reacquainted with my laptop.
In my last post, I didn't explain the entire situation. We had gone out of town for the weekend. We flew in Friday and planned to fly home Monday. I woke up in pain Sunday morning and was admitted to the hospital. We had to cancel our flight home and wait to see how long I would have to stay. They let me go on Thursday but made me stay in town one more day to make sure my blood cultures were negative for bacteria. I was SO relieved when they called me on Friday and said I could go home.
We had to decide whether to fly or drive home. I still felt uncomfortable so I could not imagine going through airport hassles, possible delays and flight cancellations. So we decided to drive. It was a long drive, but I got as comfortable as I could in the car. By the time we got home I was exhausted and went straight to bed. I can't begin to tell you how good it felt to be back in my own bed, in my own home!
So, finally I am at home. I'm sitting up in a big chair, watching "Sex and the City". I never saw it the first time around because we didn't get HBO in those days.
Gah! What an ordeal... as though being that sick isn't difficult enough.
ReplyDeleteI hope your recovery is comfortable, and thorough. ((hugs))
I know, Natalie. At times I wondered if I would ever get home! It's such a relief.
ReplyDeletethat show is addictive. you are gonna get hooked!
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to get sick, better that it's on home territory. I saw little of Paris once because I was so ill and confined to bed with kidney problems. What a wasted opportunity and being cross doesn't help- like you mentioned there is great relief in just feeling better eventually and moving on. There really is no place like home - unless its Paris dammit!!
ReplyDeleteIt also helps when you are on home territory with the language and health system. Sickness is a pain - getting better is THE best! Wishing you a speedy recovery Judy after that long trip home!
Pam, the "Sex and the City" episode I watched yesterday featured Carrie going to Paris. What a shame to be sick in Paris!
ReplyDeleteBearette, I have a friend who is a lot like Carrie.
