Home at last!

Well, today they discharged me at noon, so I came home from the hospital today! Hooray!!

I got sent home with a bunch of prescriptions- calcium, vitamin d, potassium, iron, percocet, and prednisone- and a couple of appointments for follow-up. I'll be staying on 20 mg of prednisone a day until I see Dr. Kaplan in 2 weeks, where we'll discuss going on Remicade/Humira.

I'm feeling okay- it's a little disorienting being out of the hospital, I'm kinda used to having stuff set to the clock so it was weird not to have a little meal served at the same times, etc. But I'm definately not going to miss having meds and vitals all night when I go to bed!!

I've been told to take a few weeks off of work, and to take it easy and relax and recover, so I don't have much of anything planned for the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to just taking some time for me and not having to stress about school and work on top of dealing with sickness!

I'll keep blogging of course, but now that I'm at home, there won't be as frequent updates, since significantly less will be happening. :) And that's a good thing!!

Thanks to everyone for all you've done, and to everyone who's checked out the blog- it's turned out to be a really good way to get info out to everyone!
