I'm Home

I want you all to know that I'm home. I got home around 1:00 or so this afternoon. I've pretty much been sleeping, eating, or soaking in the tub since then. My pain meds have worn off until I take a few more, so I thought I'd post.

Like, Inkling said, they left the drains in this time and cut them flush with my skin, not pleasant, but necessary for now. Hopefully the specialist in Indi will be able to tell us more on Monday... until then, we simply wait it out and hope that everything stays stable. I do not want to sit on my butt for the almost two hours it's gonna take to get to the southside of Indi... ouch!

Goodnight everyone, I love y'all! Again, thanks for the prayers!

I'm glad you are home safe and sound and I am sending prayers up for you.. I wonder if any of those prayers bounce off clouds and come back down?

Girly, send Smart Guy to the drug store to get one of those donut shaped hemroid pillows. Maybe TMI, but trust me, it will help. Or if you have a Boppy lying around that might help as well...just something to relive the pressure so you can sit.

Love you and I'll put you on the prayer list this morning at church.

You are just amazing, Grace. In your place I think I'd be angry at the world and curl up in a little ball and feel sorry for myself. But you're actually taking the time to keep your worrying friends and family updated. Through all of this, I've learned so much from you. Just want you to know that.

Much love,
Kim

Good to hear your voice today. I will continue to pray for you to heal and for a smooth, well paved roads tomorrow as you go to the specialist. :)

Love and Hugs!

Hey sweet thing. Guess I gotta pray harder huh? You amaze me with your courage and strength. I miss you more than words can say and i'm lifting up your precious family to the feet of Jesus. Have Smart Guy call us if we can do anything. Love and Hugs and Warm Fuzzy stuff!

So glad to hear the procedure went well and you are home. I hope you the specialist tomorrow has good news for you as well.
Inking mentioned an expensive procedure given through IV. Is this Remicade?
My mother in law takes that for Ulcerative Colitis and said it has been incredible for her. I was telling her about you today and she said if your circumstances ever change and you have insurance that it's worth the scheduled IV's and needles. She said it's the best thing she's done since she went out of remission.
