I got home around 9:30 PM last night. My one year old was excited but my three year old didn't really want anything to do with me. She is acting more normal to me now.
The first day was overwhelming. I got sent home with A LOT of medication. Mepron, Peridex, Lovenox, Neupogen, Folic Acid, Levofoxacin, Magnesium, Multivitamin, Nystatin, Sirolimus, Tacrolimus, Stannous Flouride, Valtrex and a few "as needed" medications. I have basically no appetite but force myself to eat. A lot of the medications need to be taken with food and I am supposed to maintain my weight. It is going to be hard to maintain with the food restrictions and lack of appetite. I had a half of piece of bread with peanut butter for breakfast, rice with butter & soy sauce for lunch, fritos for a snack, and canned clam chowder for dinner. Unhealthy, but it's on the list of permitted foods. I am just gonna add butter and peanut butter to everything to maintain weight.
The worst part of my day is when I took a shower. Of course I got the inside of my dressing wet. I freaked out and took it all off. Good thing the visiting nurse was coming but I had to put a sterile sheet over the area with my shirt over it for about an hour until she got there. The kits walgreens sent did not have all of the supplies that the hospital did but she said it was good and sterile. I hope so! I go back on Tuesday and am going to ask them to re-dress it. I was pretty overwhelmed today so I took some ativan and it helped.
The worst part so far is the boredom. I know it has only been one day but I feel mostly restricted to my bedroom. There has been snow storms so I cannot do outside walking. I feel like going up and down my stairs is good exercise. I am moving to a ranch style house at the end of the month so then I will have to go outside to walk. Hopefully the weather will be more spring like then.
I don't feel too bad. I took one nap. It wasn't a long nap.
