We made it home a little before 6:00 p.m. Heidi is with us tonight and part of tomorrow yet, thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. day. I'm home for most of the next two weeks.
So now it's figuring out how and where to go from here. As we were walking into the house, Sheree apologized for not being able to help carry things in. Somewhat laughable, but that's how Sheree is, always there to help.
We celebrated by getting ice cream at Wendy's on the way home. We stopped in Hillsboro to stretch to make the 1.5 hour trip more bearable.
By the numbers:
Sheree walked 2.25 miles while in the hospital including the first day after surgery.
97 mile trip from Wesley Medical Center to home in Abilene.
Sheree is resting now once she determined which chair is the most comfortable.
Thanks to everyone for your prayers. While being discharged from the hospital is a great first step to recovery, I get the feeling that the real work starts now. I am certain that Sheree is up to it. She was a great worker in the hospital.
