Time Is Standing Still

I know we are going home to MS today and I have been up since 3:30am in anticipation of it I suppose. I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning. It's just not getting here fast enough, lol. It's six o'clock now so I mananged to waste away part of the time. I can't eat anything because of the bronch so I'll just compute and watch tv. Philip is asleep. I mention that because he has had his days and nights mixed up. He usually stays up till 4am or later then sleeps most of the day. That will come in handy when he's driving us home tonite. We are driving straight through. A 12hr drive. Road Trip! I'm game. If it will get me to my home, I would ride 24hrs straight. I would plan to help drive, but my license expired back in October and I don't want to risk going to jail instead of making it home to MS, lol. Note to self: Get license renewed ASAP. I still can't believe today is the day!!! Come on Friday evening!

Going Home

Praise The Lord my time has come. I am finally getting to go home to Mississippi tomorrow! I am sooo excited. I didn't want to make it public until after my clinic visit today. Please pray that the bronch I'm having tomorrow doesn't show rejection because that would mean I would have to come right back up here and be admitted to the hospital for another round of ivs. The main reason for wanting to get home is my Daddy was diagnosed with prostate cancer and he is having surgery next week. Please pray that everything goes well. I may have to come back up here next week or the next, but I'm going to be home for his surgery. If I'm not showing rejection, I won't have to come back for at least 4 weeks. I haven't earned my 3 months yet because of past rejection. I have to have 2 clean bronchs before I can stop coming once a month. It's better to be safe than sorry I always say! It's only a 13hr drive, lol! I haven't been home since June! Six months is a long time to be away from family and friends. Please pray for our safe travel tomorrow. I'll update as soon as I get settled back into my own surroundings!!! Did I mention I'm excited!

I Wanna Go Home! A Rant

As much as I've loved having the opportunity for a new life and being able to breathe freely, I am coming to the point that I am ready to go home to Mississippi. I miss my family, friends, and my life. My life has been on hold all year long with transplant, rejections, fractures, doctor visits, and just being away from my home. I don't want this post to be a pitty party of sorts, but I am a bit down in the dumps tonight. I try to stay upbeat and a trooper, but even the strongest have weak points and I am reaching mine. I just get so tired of thinking "just a couple more weeks" and I'll be able to go home, then something else falls apart. I know it could be a lot worse, but to me it is getting to be bad enough to weigh on my mind. I am blessed I know this, but I can't help my feelings. It doesn't help that I've been in the hospital for a week now and I hope to heck to go home to the hotel tomorrow. At least back to the hotel at this point will be tolerable. I can't stand it in here much longer. I am going stir crazy and I have lost almost all the strength I had gained on top of it all. It doesn't take long to lose what you gained when you are layed up in a hospital. Besides I was already weak from not being able to walk on my fractured hip for two weeks. GRRRR!!! Okay, I'm finished ranting now. Only better days tomorrow. I won't give up hope :) Love To All!
