Home Again, Home Again

Alison was discharged from the hospital Friday afternoon. Her family came Thursday night, so she was glad to get home and see everyone. She's not feeling too hot; she missed chemotherapy last week. She still has a drainage tube in her hip, so the doctor thought it best to enlist the help of a home-nursing company.

My thoughts were that they would irrigate the wound on Saturday, Sunday, and then be done. But I guess what this service amounts to is a 24-hour call-if-you-need-anything service. And it means that someone will be around for questions, to come check on her, etc. So I feel it's a blessing. The weekends are so stressful for me because I know it's a period where the only care I have at my disposal is the ER. Everyone knows how sour an experience that can be.

Alison starts chemotherapy again Monday. Hopefully she'll be well-rested from the weekend and ready to keep battling.
