Yes I'm back at home and finally online. I'm amazed its all over and I am so happy that my results were all positive. The cancer has gone. No treatment necessary! Fantastic ah. The doctors and nurses were wonderful and I can't fault the care I received. The meals maybe but not the care haha. I was discharged on Saturday after 10 days in hospital and am now learning about patience. Frustration reigns but patience is a learned thing! I had a bit of a hick up with an infection whilst in hospital so District Nurses are coming daily to keep that at bay and I've been swallowing drugs like they're mm's! I know I will never moan if I get bronchitis again cause thats just a pain in your chest, not a big swollen elephant-Tit- is on one side!
I can't drive for a couple more weeks.. geez how frustrating is that haha. But I must admit I've had two short trips to the chemist and the shop and I'm worn out in half an hour. Once the infection has gone I can start walking around the block and get my fitness back.
Sadly my beautiful eldest daughter Annette who came to Lower Hutt to be with me, ended up catching the hospital virus and spent a week in Palmerston North Hospital. It was daunting not being able to be with her but after another weeks bedrest she is feeling better and slowly getting back to work. Unfortunately we never considered her low immunity status before she came. She just wanted to be there for me and I was pleased to have someone there. Never again though.
Thanks to everyone for their kind words and best wishes. This is my first day back on the computer. I've cleared 150 emails and time now to get out in the sunshine for awhile. The weather has been amazing and certainly helps make the days brighter.
Thanks again everyone

Hi Karen, so very glad you are safely home again! Hope your infection clears pronto. How bloody awful your daughter ended up in hospital too... that sucks! I hope you are fit and well enough to get back to work soon... Stew misses you! We are off on holiday for next week... so will pop in and say "Hi" when we get back, by then you might be up to our kids! Take care mate.
Hi Karen,
So glad to hear that you are back home and have everything behind you.
Sorry to hear about the infection and Annette
needing to be hospitalized.
Get a lot of rest in the sunshine and I hope that with all the M&M's your infection will clear up.
Look after yourself,
Carolyn
