a quick post from the hospital

well, hello folks! heidi here...i hope this post makes sense, lol. i am finally in my own room (& visitors are welcome!) & will most likely be going home tomorrow. crazy, eh? i have some great stories about needles & OR rooms & such. those will most likely be saved for a more coherent time, though. but i'm up & walking with some help. in fact, i would be ready to go home if they had figured out a different medical concoction for me to take at home (apparently they don't like to prescribe morphine for patients to take home. which is okay b/c i'm not such a fan of morphine anyway).

right now i have some really simple goals, such as walking w/ assistance for balance around the nurses' station once an hour when awake (which totally wipes me out!) & sleeping longer than 2 hours at a time...the ICU was good for all the attention...but it was also very loud & there was nearly always some sort of exam or finger prick or something that had to be done.

hhmm, what to pray for? balance & numbness to improve, for sure. another is that tonight goes well, so i can go home! i can't wait to sleep in my own bed (properly filled with pain meds). i also don't like to find myself chewing on my tongue or cheek (gross).

& somehow the connection was just lost & part of this post is gone...sorry i am just too tired to re write. just wanted to let everyone know i'm sort of alive & kicking. but very tired *smile*. keep praying, i want this numbness to go away soon!
