Going home

The docs have been to see me and given their thumbs up to go home. Good news, but I'm feeling apprehensive- maybe it's because I'm leaving the protective environment of my room and going back out into the big, bad world.
I still have a long way to go and could end up straight back in hospital at the slightest sign of infection or fever. My immune system will be very low for a few months, so I'll need to be very careful.
Still, it'll be great to be back with Sue and the kids and I'm sure I'll adjust to home living in no time.
Forgot to mention in earlier blogs that my hair started falling out in clumps at the end of last week (as predicted, three weeks after chemo), so Sue shaved it on Saturday. This is the fourth time I've been bald. It's good to see my other persona back to use my extensive hat collection.
