Going Home!

Hi All!

Abbey here.

Just a quick note to say that I've been discharged and am "enjoying" one last hospital meal before Bill shows up to take me home. Now that the chest tube has been removed I'm feeling MUCH better. I have my follow-up with Dr. Calhoun/first visit with the oncologist scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon. That should be when we get the biopsy results and learn what the rest of the plan will be. I plan to stay home from work at least tomorrow and then we'll see. I'm going to use the time to respond back to all the wonderful messages I've been receiving.

I'm officially ready for the fight to begin. I dare anyone to bet against me! :)

  5. Hola chica,
    I agree, ya for going home! I was thinking along the same lines as Calvin...I can't believe we've been friends for 15 years (and I'm looking forward to an excellent celbration of being friends for 1/2 of our lives in 3 more years).
    I look forward to hearing more about the diagnosis and moving on to the "cancer a$$ kicking" part of this gig! I'll call ya later in the week to catch up "in person".

    Luv,
    Jenny
