Ladies and Gentlemen of my FList:

I am home, and I am doing fine.

I'm scheduled for six weeks of outpatient IV antibiotic therapy and a LOT of consultations regarding the decade-old open wound on my leg, aiming to get that fucker closed for good. Which would be awesome. I haven't been swimming in foreverAlso: hospital food really is as bad as all

Dear ghod. I'm sorry you went thru that. Must have been a special flavor of hell.

I try my best to not bother patients. I let them sleep as long as I can before rousing them to get blood for labwork. But alas, I have to be the bad guy.

My husband is currently in the hospital being treated for leukemia, so I know the hell that you experienced through visiting him. He at least has a semi-private room.

The parade of people doesn't bother him at much, but on that floor there are plenty of people who aren't doing well with their cancers. One woman is sometimes yelling "help" because her cancer is in the brain and making her hallucinate. There were two people visiting another patient who ran over to the door to her room and stood there and watched. They even got in the way of the staff who were trying to calm the woman until they were told brusquely to leave, and did so grumbling.

I wanted to ask when they became so entitled to interfere with someone's health, but it was better to avoid.

Welcome home, sweetheart.
