Discharge Tomorrow, Homecoming??

I'm doing well enough to be put on oral medication tonight and then be discharged tomorrow afternoon. For a while I will be needing daily checkups, which includes labs, IV fluids, blood products, and medicines. I should be able to stop taking one of the meds which makes me nauseous at the end of the month, the coral snake eggs. Although this makes my recovery sound like it's going to take weeks the doctor assures me that certain cell lines won't recover for 6-12 months. A big window, I know, but that's what she said. The ones that fight viruses are the ones which will recover lastly, so that means that I have to stay under house arrest until they come up. No restaurants, no church, no mall, no children allowed in my presence or anyone who is around children, no smokers around me, no one who has been sick or has been around anybody who has been sick... this includes all my friends and family, even my dad when he goes back to work. Basically I am home-bound until my lymphocytes recover. Hopefully by late June, early July we will see some all-around immunity begin to recover. You can't jump into faster-than-light speed unless your shield covers your ship's entire hull; you'll rip the ship apart. I think I'll be spending a little while longer in Houston than we were led to believe would be necessary, but that's a small price to pay for long term health.
