The END of my hospital stay is near!!

Yep, it's true. I believe on Tues they are going to let me outta here for good. I've been getting 4 hour passes for the past several days to leave the hospital during the day. I've just been going home and resting, watching my dvr'd shows, but it's way better than the hospital. I get another 4 hour pass today at 3-7pm. My mom got me a brand new bed the other day. It's really nice. Brand new sheets and everything! I'm going to bring my xbox home today so I can hook it back up to LIVE. LIVE never did work at the hospital. The IT guy never did come, even though we asked like 5 times. Oh well. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!

I do have some graft vs host desease (gvhd). My hands were really pealing bad, and they were burning for several days last week. They gave me some kind of steriod, which has stopped it somewhat. I'm pealing other places too, but the hands are the worst. I dont' know what happens after I leave the hospital. I know that the 1st 100 days of the graft are important, and I have to be within 30 minutes of SCCA, that's downtown Seattle. We can make it there in 29 minutes using the carpool lane, so we are ok living at home. I'm really glad we don't have to move. This whole thing would have been so much harder without my friends coming to visit and my family being here for me. Every weekend since Oct 11th my uncle Ted, and my "auntie" Jeanine has come to spend the night with me. They were a nice change from my parents. I can't wait to get out of here, and off the pain medication, so I can get back to feeling normal again. It's still going to be a long time before I can go back to school. They said 300 days, so that would be Dec 5th. The 100 days is May 18th.

Anyway, I do not know the future, but I am looking forward to this afternoon, when I get to go play with my little dog, MAX.
