My Independant StreakEntry #642690
About ten days later, after my blood counts were beginning to rise quite well, Bill was visiting while I was again in labs. The doctor checked my numbers and said any day soon I would be able to go home.

After we left the hospital, I just couldn't bear the thought of going out to eat at a restaurant, return to the cancer lodge, watch some television with my husband and say good-bye to him again.

While Bill was somewhat reluctant to do as I asked, I was so frustrated that I told him to take me to the car rental place to see what it would cost to rent a car for just one night. A really nice car was available at a good price so I went back to the lodge, packed a suitcase and told the staff we would be spending the night in a motel. Instead I drove the 2-hours home in the rental while he drove our car and I enjoyed a most wonderful evening with my grandchildren, and relaxed in the comfort of my own house.

Funny how it all turned out. Early the next morning I left for the hospital, with my son following me in his car. I got to labs at 8 a.m. and after my tests came back, the doctor decided to discharge me to go home! My son and I locked eyes and smiled. My freedom had been granted!
