I'm Blowing This Joint Tonight!

Just heard from a very good-looking surgeon that I am being released tonight. My blood sugars are in decent control. I'm peeing up a storm. My creatnine level is in the normal range. My neck shunt has been removed, and the IV will soon follow. All is good.

Aaron is cleaning up the apartment, as he told me "it's a real mess." Then he's driving to UCLA to take me home to my own bed.

Doubtless I'll stay with Susie at some point when I'm attending clinic visits, but right now she's been doing so much for so many people, that I don't want to put anything more on her.

Thanks to all who have sent their love, their support, and their prayers. And thanks especially to the inner circle in the greater Long Beach area who have volunteered to help with grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, rides, and laundry. This means an awful lot.
