Heading Home with a Plan

Deja-vu huh? Mom and I packed the suitcases and headed to NJ for a few tests and a final appointment with Dr. Olson. I was confident we would make this flight. Things were different this time though. I was feeling anxious about the decisions I still needed to make, the people I hoped to say good-bye to, and all the things I needed to accomplish in such a short amount of time. As usual though, no one needed to know how I was feeling. I could deal with that later. This was the time to focus and show that I was in the game.

After several days of IV meds in the hospital, my test results were much better than the pre-hospital ones. (Thank goodness!) My appointment with Dr. Olson was detailed and intense. She prescribed several new medications and modified the dosages on old ones. She provided me with a detailed plan to hopefully keep me on track for the two weeks I'll be out of her sight. The hardest news was that she banned me from going to the school. I had hoped to work a few days while being home. So much for my plans. :(  I guess that's another thing I'll deal with later.


For now, I'm going to focus my energy on heading home, getting stronger, spending time with friends and family, and taking care of the business of moving. This is going to be  s o m e  two weeks...
