If the last few posts have felt a little chaotic and hard to follow, well, now you know what life was like in the days before and during Lindsie's hospitalization. Gratefully, Lindsie had improved enough by Wednesday (11th) morning that Dr. Bridges felt good about releasing her. After radiation and her visit to the future on her hover bed, she had her first Heceptin infusion while she lay in her hospital room. It took about 90 minutes, was painless, and had no side effects. After that we packed her up and had her ready to go home with Josh by 2:00.
Lindsie was still moving very, very slowly and still had a lot of pain, but she would be able to move enough to get to the hospital for her daily radiation treatments and that's all we needed in order to get her released. About 10 seconds after Lindsie got in the van to go home she looked like an entirely different person. There was light and energy back in her eyes and she was smiling. It was seriously like night and day. The nurses and other staff in the hospital really did work hard to take care of Linds and get her on her feet again (literally), and some of them were the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, but at the same time hospitals just aren't good for people morale-wise. It was so good to get Lindsie home to her family and her own home where she could recuperate in peace.
