I haz a normal white blood cell count!!!!!

Oh, and I get to go home tomorrow! (I am having an MRI today -- this is prep for the surgery next month). I'm not well as such, obviously, and won't be until I start recovering from the surgery next month, but at least I can go home and wait the four weeks. Still bloated. Hope the heck that goes away, and I don't have to live with that for four weeks.

As of today, I have been in the hospital a bloody *week*. I don't begin to want to know what state my apartment is in, given the disaster it was when I left it (I was sick enough that a *lot* went by the wayside for the last three days or so before I went in the hospital).

I'm so glad to hear you're improving. :) My highest amount of time in a hospital has been four days, so far, and that was entirely too many days as far as I'm concerned!

[mmegaera]

Yeah. I must be feeling better, because I'm starting to go stir crazy [wry g].

Thank you!

[annathepiper]

Boy howdy do I know that feeling!

[stoutfellow]

Glad to hear it! (I remember, during my five-day stint, that what worried me the most was the dogs; W volunteered to feed and water them for the duration.)

[mmegaera]

I'm glad I'm catless right now, I have to say.

Fingers crossed that you will continue to improve a moderate amount! (And don't neglect drinking even if you're bloated, of course. ...I think it took me about a week to get most of my bloating down, once my kidneys started doing their job again. Or at least enough of "down" to stop making the c-section incision hurt so much when I moved. I was like a water balloon that'd been cut and stitched back together!)

[mmegaera]

Yeah, I really want the bloating to go down before my surgery. I sure hope it does. And believe me, I will keep drinking All the Water.

I knock on wood!

Woo-hoo! [cues up Paul Simon's "Homeward Bound."]
