YEAH! I am home. Got home yesterday, but not feeling very well. I can not swallow at all, and so have a hard time getting all the mucous up from the pneumonia. My tongue is horrible and bleeds at the drop of a hat. I do ahev the pain under control now, and have more meds than I ever thought possible. I now have to take stuff for acid reflux, motility, and yeast in my mouth.
On another note I made many wonderful nurse friends while at the hospital and was able to be a light to them on the oncology floor. They had some sad times while I was there, two people passed away and they had several code blues on my floor. They atually said it is not very often that someone gets to go home.
I also posted a pic of me and my favorite nurse on my facebook profile. Now you all can get a name with a face. I do have some radiation burns, bur you can barely see them and they almost look tan.
