It's good news Friday, in spite of the city-wide impending doom with "Carmaggedon" this weekend!
Ed is HOME.....as in Thousand Oaks, sleeping in his own bed last night! It came as quite a surprise yesterday when he called and told me the doctors had deciced to let him come home for the weekend. We had planned all along that he would be discharged to Tiverton House first. He will probably have to go back to Tiverton House next week and we'll find out for sure on Monday, but for the time being he is back in his own world and very happy about it! I think everyone was trying to work around the freeway closure and immense traffic grid-lock that they expect in the city and were trying to keep us out of that. I'm happy about that for sure.
The housekeeper is coming today to clean and sanitize the house so Ed is spending the day at his Mom's resting and watching TV. I don't want him in the middle of that dust and cleaning products etc. while the work is being done. I was caught off guard by the short notice so today was the soonest I could get someone out. He's pretty weak and just needs to lay low for a while and rest without pushing himself. Just getting dressed takes the wind out of him. (He slept for 5 hours straight when we got home yesterday.) No driving and no going anywhere for now. But at least he can sit in a chair on the patio for fresh air, etc. and he isn't cooped up in the same 4 walls. Mentally this will be very good for him. I've notified our oncologist and infection disease doctors here in Thousand Oaks that Ed is here and should something develop over the weekend that we need help with, I'll bring him to Los Robles for care. But we're just going to keep good thoughts and take the necessary precautions to make sure everything goes smoothly.
I'm working at the shop for a bit as Ida is off today babysitting her baby granddaughter, so I'll get to work now. Not sure if Ed will answer his phone today, but you can certainly leave messages.
I hope you all have a splendid and "carmaggedon - free" weekend.
