I am officially freeeeee of my picc line, which means I'm off the antibiotics and no longer need to stay up until all hours of the night. Everything else went well at the appointment today, too--the incisions are healing nicely AND my favorite doctor was there. I go back in a month for an MRI, but, assuming everything is fine, that should be it for a while. So...yeah. I'm feeling good.

haven't posted in a while...

I'm off to the doctor today for a follow-up appointment. They ended up taking out both the staples and stitches last week, so I'm not exactly sure what we'll be doing today. I do have a lot of questions for Dr. Lam (as usual), so it's probably good I'll be able to see him in person.

The plan is to start back at work next Monday. The legislative session starts on Tuesday, which means I'll be hitting the ground running. Or maybe I'll be hitting the ground at a slow jog, since everyone there seems to be emphatic that I not push myself. I'm really excited to go back, but I do need to remember that even though this work wasn't exactly physically difficult for me three months ago, it might be now. Nevertheless, I think I'm ready to have my life back. Even though I've enjoyed spending time relaxing at home for 2.5 months (one of the upsides of this whole situation), it has definitely made me a little stir crazy.
