Home but not Alone

Stan Here:

Well the big moment of the return home finally happened at around 11 this morning.  Karen helped Deb get her stuff all packed up and by the time I got there it was in the car and ready to go.  She walked out to the car without the walker and she looks pretty good. She is now sitting in her chair in the family room talking on the phone. I am going to have her write a few lines so here they come.

Deb Here:

Hi Everyone, I am so thankful to be home. I want to thank you all for the wonderful wishes for my homecoming. It is so special after 35 days to be home. My parents are here to help with my care and to attend our two graduation ceremonies this weekend. I am using a wheelchair both days to conserve my energy. There is a handicapped entrance at the Breslin Center at MSU and so that should be no problem. I was excited to see a beautiful purple hanging plant on my front porch and a bottle of some special bubbly, thank you Deb S. you are a good friend. I had two scares this am. First, the pain med Rx was mailed to my pharmacy and it had not arrived yet......oh no, but thank goodness, it did arrive. Then, the expert from Holland Home Care who was supposed to come this afternoon and finally fit me with the proper appliance for my ileostomy has laryngitis and can't come today, oh no, so the second best person it coming.   Will write more later, Deb
