Smells Like Healing Spirit: Day +10

Had myself a pretty decent little Saturday up here in Madison. Having a decent night's sleep helped kick it off, but I was up early today. Got my shower, breakfast and a walk around the floor, all before 8 a.m.

I just had a good amount of energy which was a nice change of pace. I felt good enough for a cup of coffee for the first time in 5 days so likely to say my queasiness is going away. My white blood cell count doubled overnight so my body is able to start healing itself even more. 

Then I just read for an extended period of time. I felt clear minded and focused so that really helped. 

The rest of the morning I just hung out in the open lobby area. I setup a little work station and did some very minor studio work/organizing and just waited for the kids swim meet to start. Big shout out to DCST for having the live feeds and for Stephanie making sure I had all the links to watch. I'm continually proud of our kids and the commitments they make with things like swimming. 

While reading most the morning I started noticing pieces of my hair following so that's finally started. Whose to say how much I end up losing, but if it becomes too much I'll just have them shave me. 

Also, water retention is starting to become a minor issue. My ankles are now cankles. I was able to put my feet up this evening and it's seemed to help a lot. 

Tonight I'm just taking it easy with a little Pizza Hut and the Chiefs-Bills game with hopes of falling asleep early and getting another jump on the day tomorrow. 

Now that I'm healing and feeling better I can start to feel the 'let's go home' vibe, but I know I have some more time. I can't complain. I've got an A+ care team hope the next few days go fast.
