Home at last! Mike and I came home Tuesday the 24th. It was the longest week ever! I went in for surgery on the 16th, and spent two days in ICU afterwards. I was very sick from the pain meds and was poked for IV sites two many times! I think I'll be black and blue forever. The NS said once he opened up the original surgery site, he found not one, but two blood vessels sitting tight against my brain. So he thinks maybe that is what was causing all the pain on my left side, not to mention the headaches! It's amazing what medical science can do to help now. I had a hard time recovering in the hospital, lots of nausea and weakness but man was the staff great. They kept me on track to leave on time and then we stayed at the volunteer place, Kathy's House in Milwaukee until my wound check day. I get my staples out up here next Tuesday then my check-up isn't until July 13th! It was hard for both Mike and I to be there with no family and we're still feeling the effects, but we'll make it. Lot's of catching up to do!
