A tiny update just to reassure people that I haven't dropped off the edge of the planet; the internet connection in the hospital decided to die on me on Wednesday, reaffirming the fact that I should clearly be heading in the home direction.
With test results remaining "stable", on Friday, I was discharged on "Weekend leave". However on doing so, I packed up my entire room, and my name was wiped off of the whiteboard for the first time since July. I was meaning to say goodbye and thank you to various members of staff but cried when I attempted this with the ward sister therefore aborted this idea quite swiftly. So mum and I quietly (well relatively speaking) loaded up the car, and left the hospital. As I say I am technically on weekend leave, as I will be ringing on monday to check in, but I have no fixed return date for the first time since this whole episode began. We are taking things very cautiously (hence me not posting this until today!) one day at a time....but for now, it feels indescribably good to be home.

Hi Emily,
It is so good to know you are home, especially on extended leave. I knew you'd do it. You just keep on taking baby steps each day, until you finally get yourself back to normal good health. I know how wonderful nursing staff are everywhere but at the end of the day there's really no place like home. So enjoy.......Lots of love, J.
YAY!!!!!!! am so glad to hear your home sweetie! hope you are totally enjoying it. sending lots of love and yayful thoughts xxxx
This has made my day!!!! Emily you little star-i may be rivalling you for the pinkness and smiliness at the moment. Astounding news, my seminar tutor will wonder whats gotten into me when i march into her room in 2 hours beaming like a cheshire cat with an extra large coathanger in its mouth! Big big hugs to you missy xxxx
Great to hear your back at home to the comforts you need and the extra special attention deserved. Take it easy - make sure your waited on foot and hand all day long! xx
