escaping 1:00:00 [3]
Today I am released from the hospital, which for some reason made me cry and cry. Karl brought me a stuffed cow earlier in the week and I hold my cow and cry for absolutely no reason. I pack up all my stuff, I had no idea I had brought so much stuff!
I discovered that it hurts too much to open and close car doors, and the seatbelt brings tears to my eyes, so I used the 'teddy' they gave me to hold against my chest if I had to cough (this is a towel wrapped very tightly and held together by tape).
When I get home I forget that I need to go easy on the stairs so I walked up all 30 in one go and then had to lean against a wall to avoid passing out. I stumble into my apartment, sit on the couch, and put my head in my hands. It takes 5min for the whooshing sound in my head to go away! Karl is worried that I'm crying again so he makes two return trips to the car for all my stuff.
Today I also manage a slow trip to the grocery shop with Cate as Sherpa cos I'm not allowed to carry very much. Then when I get home the fridge carks it. Great timing!!
