I'm hooooome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally wearing clothes for the first time in a month. More nurses stopping in and saying bye. Got a few balloons from them too :)
Five nurses I've had throughout the month just came in to give me hugs and wish me goodluck. T-minus 30-60 minutes until I go home.

Latest I've been up while in the hospital. Normally I'm asleep by 10pm. I blame @mistical. ;)
We got an awesome deal on the hospital equipment. One place was $350/mo for bed/trapeze. Hosp. case mgr got us $275/mo for 5 items.
123456789, it's #Threadless giveaway time! (please RT! At 12:34 cst we'll pick a random RT-er to win!) (via @threadless)
So it's for sure I'm being released tomorrow. Mom has all my hospital equipment ordered through my case mgr for the home.

Apparently I'm being released Thursday afternoon because I wasn't approved for rehab. I'm scared because there's some stuff I can't do yet.
One thing I'm going to miss for months because of my hip: sleeping on my stomach/side. I'm NOT a back sleeper.
I hate when I wake up from sleep for something because then it takes me 30 minutes to get comfortable then 30 more to fall asleep.

So... The room I'm in costs $790 a night and $1660 per night for ICU. My bill so far... is almost $30,000. I swear this all will be $500k.
Here's a picture of all the bracelets I tweeted about earlier. :P http://twitpic.com/9i7kf
So on my right wrist I have my ID scan bracelet, allergy bracelet, and regular admittance bracelet... Nurse just added a fall risk one. Hah

Vicodin is kicking in a little bit cos I'm feeling sleepy. Too bad I can't get comfy.
My dad is doing better. Mom texted me and said they're letting him go.
Don't know anything yet but family friend went to find out just now.
Mom called crying and told my grandma that dad was cutting grass and got stung by something and passed out. In the ER where I'm at.
It's unbelievably hard emotionally and physically but I push myself through the pain so I can be closer to going home.
During physical therapy today I stood up with the walker (and left arm rest) for a minute on my 3rd try and most of getting up was me.
Guess I fell asleep early on @mistical last night. At least I didn't give him any troubles like major leg pain or a scary 103 fever ;)
