I’m home, and I have started oral antibiotics. It will be so for 2-3 months, to make sure that the infection does not come back. Every 12 hours, a pill, with a full glass of water, and a small snack. The new normal.
This is totally okay. Trust me. Getting the PICC line out, getting off the super strong antibiotics and getting home, is a wonderful thing! And I am not complaining.
In fact I am joyous, and thrilled and I am embracing it all. How lucky I am to be regaining my health, my strength.
I am not going back to Boston. I am not going back to poor health and illness. I see this as a time when I can take control and regain my health all the way around!
Life! I chose life!
