Appreciating small things

  • Getting the catheter removed and gaining back my freedom to use the bathroom at my own will was such a delight.
  • Getting the chance to get a quick bath (at 6:00 am) and feel clean was something I looked forward to though I was mostly still half asleep.
  • 24th May, the blood drain pipe was also removed and I was told I could go home the next day.  YAY!!
  • 25th May, I got discharged from the hospital. Sad that my mom was still there and was to undergo her arteries surgery :(
  • After being in isolation for so many days, being out in the open, seeing people, the traffic on the potholed roads of Bangalore on the way home all felt amazing. I was still in pain but felt energetic and enthusiastic.

BUT! I had already developed a Urinary Tract Infection :( - Apparently, long use of catheter often results in such infections. This meant I needed to be back in the hospital everyday for the next 7 days to get antibiotics. BLAH!!

But hey, for NOW, I was going home.
