Good heavens, what a rollercoaster. Strength to you, Sassy, and hoping that your stay in hospital is nearly over!

Super happy to hear this, Sassy!!
Thank you both.
They came and did it all tonight. Took out the last drain and removed the Staples. Everything is tender, but I'm glad they did it tonight instead vs doing it tomorrow then saying I could go home right after.
I'm just so happy to be able to go home to my own bed.
Trekka and I have been sharing broken old lady helpers for home. I might still need a rail on my bed to help me sit up and I have grab bars in my shower already.
I'll get a few weeks at home for recovery before starting chemo. Thank goodness.

I don't know what chemo cocktail they will be giving...but I have been reading really good things about this. I do know they are using it against more than just breast cancer. It is the man-made bee venom. It targets only cancer cells. Worth asking about?

Now be honest, you had the rails, grab bars and all kinds of other mechanical things rigged in your bedroom and shower before this, right?
So happy you will be home tomorrow.
Great news Sassy..

That was a rough couple days. I got my hopes up about going home and then after removing my staples, I tore across the top. Lots of bleeding and wound packing and trying to find ways to keep me from ripping more. They still wanted to send me home with active bleeding and had to fight hard against that. as much as I wanted to go home, I was bleeding in an area I could barely see. They wanted to teach me packing open wounds. Finally, an extra night bought me a special device from would care called a wound vac that they suctioned over my wounds to help draw out any moisture and keep the wound from opening more. So. I came home yesterday with this vac attached to me (I have to wear like a necklace) and got to sleep in my own bed. It was glorious. But I truly have no strength or energy. Just getting up to the bathroom wears me out.

Don't rush it. Take it easy. At least you are home now.
Hang in there Dear.. I am glad you are home and as comfy as you can be under the circumstances.. Will they give you Home Health Care where a nurse comes by to check on you every day or every other ??

So glad you're home, Sassy!! I had one of those wound vacs on my heel and they work great even putting some pressure on it walking and the best thing was being able to shower with it on.
Hopefully your strength comes back being around your loved ones and we're all certainly hugging you virtually 24/7! Love you heaps!!!

My family is definitely glad to have me home. My cat wasted no time in crawling in bed to cuddle with me. It was sweet. My husband took a picture of him laying on me last night.So glad you're home, Sassy!!

Oh I am so glad!! Oh that is good. Welcome home. Of course you're tired.... think about what your poor body was put through over the last two weeks. Being in your own house, sleeping in your own bed, surrounded by your family and animals, I bet that is the best medicine. Give yourself plenty of time.... I'm sure you're impatient and maybe frustrated but do take it slow. Rome wasn't built in a day either.

Yes, it really is.Aww, glad you got some furry kitty love, that's the best!!
I am struggling with this. Yes. Just walking from one side of the house to the other totally wears me out. This wound vac is basically something I have to drag with me everywhere and just as I celebrated being free from the IV pole and not having to drag something around. I got this. I wear it as a necklace basically. A heavy necklace but then plug it in wherever I sit. I have to be careful of it with showers and such. But Real showers aren't much of a thing yet. I've had a couple, but I have to be careful of all the places that are covered. It's funny how you forget about the little things until you can't do them. I went outside and walking from my driveway to the house took the wind out of me.Oh I am so glad!! Oh that is good. Welcome home.

I stepped on the scale and have lost 14#'s since I went in. I can see it on myself. (not that I'm really complaining)
All the bruising all over from my Picc line, heparin shots, Iv's. I look horrible.
This is so hard for me. But I am sure trying!!.

You're doing brilliantly. If it was me, I'd still be in hospital and telling everyone to leave me alone and blackmailing the physiotherapists so they'd go bother someone else and leave me to vegetate.
Each day, you're getting stronger and although you'll always be short and sassy, you have a huge heart and you're a warrior.
