Free At Last

I will continue where i left off. Last night we played some games, laid low and tried to get a good night sleep. Mom had a headache throughout the night, so her sleep was a bit disrupted, however after breakfast she was feeling better than the last couple of days. Her fever has not returned, so this morning they let us know that we would get to go home...to the Tampa apartment. Mom's blood levels are still holding steady and mostly on the rise...at least the whites are (3.41) ... and that is what we are after!
As soon as we heard that we would be leaving today we began to search for what was packable so we could bust out in a flash! We watched a movie and waited around for all the different teams of nurses and doctors to give us the "blessing" we needed to leave. Finally, at around 3:30 we were told we could evacuate...good thing mom had her sneakers on...I've never seen anyone take off so quickly...Later, when i found her pacing the parking lot waiting for me to catch up, (just kidding ..as the caregiver i never left her side) we loaded up and took off...FREE AT LAST!
Since then we have been at the apartment trying plan healthy recipes for the rest of the week. Together, we have concocted some tomato sauce...with a green tint (spinach)...and are going to be sitting down to a home cooked meal momentarily. Later, we plan to take a short, slow walk around or by the lake and head in for a long awaited restful night sleep!
That's it for now...stay tuned...
