Just inchin my way toward normal life.

So, tommorrow is a big day. I get to get my triple lumen catheter out ahead of schedule. What the heck is a triple lumen catheter you ask? Well I’ll tell ya. It’s a big central line catheter that goes right through your chest into your main veins and can deliver all kinds of chemo and poisons and fluids and you can draw labs off it. The nurses love them. It makes their lives a lot easier and it makes it easier on me with less pokes. There is only so much vein reserve I have left…lol. Gotta save some for later.

It also is a constant visual reminder that you have been through a lot of tough stuff…. but still got through it. It’s that “oh you were really going through somethin” visual reminder. I will not be sorry to see it go. Who knows? Maybe after that has been gone long enough I could even submerge in things like a hot tub again. OOh dare to dream. My dreams are big lately and I can’t wait to make them come true. Have a great day everybody!

It’s today! It’s today!

The coveted day has finally arrived. The day I get to go home. The day I get to see my family again. The day I get to see my pets again. The day I get to see my yard again. The day I get to see my house again. Whoohoo. I can hardly wait for noon to come.

I can’t wait for the moment my husband comes to get me. I can’t wait to see my silly old car again. I can’t wait to take in the moment that I am actually leaving the hospital and heading for the open road.

It’s amazing the amount of things that you take for granted when you just get to have them. I guess I am not quite saying that correctly. Nothing has ever been just given to me. I have worked my butt off for everything I have. I have tried very hard to earn everything. I just mean that you don’t realize how much you miss a view or your family or just basically being able to stare out a car window knowing you are finally going somewhere you actually want to go until you can’t for awhile. Basically, right and now, and even before now, I feel grateful from my head to my toes for every little thing. Has it been rough? Hell yeah! Did I have moments when I was wondering if I was going to make it out of this? Yep! Just days ago in fact. But guess what? Today is a new day people. Let the new beginning take flight! Have a wonderful day everybody!
