Well, that about sums me up. The day has been long. Traveling has been tiresome. Now we are home!
Started the day by waking up; well, I woke up quite a few times during the night, as usual, needing pain killers, and just not being able to sleep. Ate breakfast, as I was getting a head ache. Then took a long warm shower as Marla and Nicole packed. It was very nice not having to worry about the packing… my sweet Marla took care of it all! I just sat on the couch and watched TV waiting for more of my pain killers to kick in and rid me of my head ache.
Next we packed up the truck, and drove over to the hospital to pay a final visit to the CVICU where I spent the majority of my time in recovery to say a final “Good bye” to all my great nurses! It was great to see them, and I could tell that it made their day too to see me, able to stand and all! They said it is so nice to actually see one of there patients recover and come back looking normal! As most of the time they just have the patients move to another area of the hospital and they don’t hear from them again.
When we left, we drove to Sonic for lunch. After that we headed out to the airport, which took some time because the traffic was really bad!
Got to the airport, grabbed a wheel chair, and carted over to the terminal. Marla and I were fortunate enough to have first class seats! It was great! All I can say is that it’s going to be hard to go back to couch after being in first class. Oh well…
Back in Minnesota! We got our baggage and hopped on a shuttle bus to our off site parking lot. It is colder here than in Houston, and I love it! Houston is way too stinkin’ hot! And I do mean stinkin’! It smells bad there.
We drove Nicole back to her home, and dropped her off. The trip from Roseville to Saint Michael was great… I had my chair reclined a little, and just relaxed the whole way.
Now we are home, and it feels great! Love to be home! Will post more later!
