Last day of rehab and tomorrow I go home!!!!

Today has been bittersweet. While I'm super excited to get home and to resume my life, it's almost like this has become my life. I'm scared and sad to leave the hospital. I've met so many amazing people who have helped me through some tough and scary situations. I've been inspired by my time in PT, where people relearn how to move, to get around, to live independently. I'm in debt to the nurses, doctors, and therapists who have pushed me to get where I am today. If any of you are reading this, thank you. This hospital has become my home, and I'm frightened by the challenges I'm bound to encounter as I return to my home,my life, and my friends and family in Topeka. Thursday I start a day program at Kansas Rehab. I'm hoping that things continue to progress and that my numbness continues to recede. I now have a patch of skin on my right upper arm that has normal sensation. We took down everything that was on my bulletin board(which was completely filled up) and mostly cleared off my bedside table. We also popped the second balloon bouquet and breathed in a little Helium:) Mom came after work from Topeka, and we went out for Mongolian grill. It was super yummy delicious and when i was done, my plate still looked like no one had touched it. I gots to go to bed, big day tommorrow:)
