Once again just like predicted I was rudely awakened by the lovely lady with the needle.  By this time I had been poked so many times I forgot to be afraid!!!  So here I am awake at 6 am on a Saturday morning, guess what there's nothing on TV on Saturday morning not even news!!!!  So in to the shower I went and then I ordered my room service I mean breakfast!!  I finished addressing my Christmas cards and sat reading and I found frosty the snow man to watch!  Every time a nurse came in I asked when do I get to go home? Also I'd ask about the ultra sound, are we doing it or not?  The nurse said there wasn't an order for it and she was just waiting on my discharge papers and then I could go.  SWEET!!!  Colleen called and brought me Arbys for lunch i thought maybe I would get to leave while she was there but nope not yet!!  Finally at about 3:30 they came and took me for the ultra sound, I thought man its late I hope there not going to make me stay again, but they didn't!!!  At about 5:00 we were on our way with discharge papers and prescriptions!  I should back up a bit and say at one point a Dr came in and I asked her a few questions.  Mostly because its the week before the holidays I asked if it was OK to drink she seemed like she wanted to say no but she said it was OK to have a drink to toast with the family. Mostly they said to be very careful not to fall down and not to get hurt in any way.  I was instructed to come back to the hospital if I started bleeding at all.  At this point I was so afraid of getting cut I didn't want to go near the scissors, thank God we had all the wrapping done already!! So we were off instructed to see the Hematologist on Monday. Oh and at discharge my count was 40,000.
