It’s me! Rob! Posting from the hotel room!
Well, it is Saturday Morning and I am sitting here at the computer. I had a reasonable night sleep… slept from 11pm till about 3am. Then I was up till about 5 then slept till 6. I then got restless and got up to take a long long shower… felt nice. Had a lot of Honey-Comb cereal for breakfast. I need to change all my bandages. Especially for my trache opening. That has been the cause of the most concern… as it is still open… and the doctors made it sound like it would close up right away. Although I don’t see how it would… it is a hole in my throat! I would post a picture of it, but it might frighten women and small children too!
Yesterday was nice, spent all day awake! We dropped the ladies off at the mall, and the guys (Dad, Bri, and myself) drove around looking at exotic cars and very nice houses! The houses were amazing, and the cars were great too! I need to get some of the photos of the cars off of dad’s camera to post. Also ate a lot of food yesterday! It was great to have a nice stake!!! It is very nice to have my appetite coming back! I need it! I lost about 12 pounds while in the hospital! That is over 10% of my body weight!
In the evening we watched a movie at the hotel, The Bourne Identity. Jen and Landon came over too! It is great to see them! I really like to see my sister and I love hanging out with Landon too. He was really great to have around at the hospital… I was so impressed with how many times he came to visit me. It was almost like “how come you are coming so much, we don’t really know each other that well” but now I am really thankful that he did come, I fell like he is a brother now, and I like it. He is a great guy.
Don’t know what we are going to do today, but I’m sure it will be entertaining! It is great just to be out of the hospital! I really enjoy being on the computer here at the hotel! I also actually enjoy using the PSP now too! I didn’t like using it at the hospital for some reason. I do enjoy it now though! I can’t wait to get home and relax and just enjoy being home! I’m kinda bummed out that I’m not supposed to have visitors for a while… the Infectious Disease doctor was a little concerned about my immune system being messed up because of the large amounts of antibiotics running through my body for so long. He also said I’m supposed to avoid public places for a few months too! I’m not even supposed to go to church for a long time. I need to get the sacrament brought to me… it has been far too long.
I know my post is very broken and probably even a little incoherent, but that is fitting. My mind is still coming back to normal. I remember in the hospital as I was just beginning to be able to write notes to people on paper or the magna-doodle that it was very difficult to write what I thought, and a lot of times my spelling was so messed up it would nearly be a different word even. It was a little frightening at first thinking, maybe I have some brain damage or something! But with time and effort I was able to correct myself and get my point across.
I will post more later… maybe not until tomorrow. I LOVE to hear all your comments! Please post comments, doesn’t matter what they are or who they are from, I love to read them!
I am so blessed to be here today, and I still can’t come close to even comprehend how serious this all has been, and how many close calls there have been. I can truly say that is because of all the prayers that I have been able to get through this! Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers!
Rob
