The pain in my legs and back subsided throughout the evening and will hopefully go away over the next several days. My most recent lab report this morning indicated my white blood cell count jumped to 4.5, which is well above the hospital discharge requirement of 1.0. All other blood counts continue to rise towards normal ranges.
I was disconnected from the IV pump machine at 8:30am which was such a good feeling. My doctor went over my discharge instructions around 2:00pm, and shortly after the nurse removed my PICC line and I was discharged from the hospital!!
My brother and I took a cab to my nearby hotel, and after settling into my room, my brother picked up my meds from the nearby Walgreens. Later in the evening my brother picked up some food from the nearby P.F. Changs. It was absolutely fantastic to eat something other than hospital food.
I look forward to an evening in a real bed without any interruptions.
