Becca returned home this afternoon in way better shape than when she left six days ago. She's happy to be here! The view is even better than it is in room 2378, plus you can open the windows here. She's doing a hydration bag at night and that's it for now. The only blip is that she was sick to her stomach a couple of times this afternoon, but that may be that she just moved around more than usual. You don't have to climb stairs when you take a spin around the hospital hallway.
It's three weeks until she has to go back for chemo! And even though I'm starting to get really cozy with Becca's blog (21 posts in 17 days) — even fantasizing that this could be my big break, like a "Daily Steve" kind of deal (get it? "Daily Beast," "Daily Kos", and sorry that I had to explain that) — I'm thinking we go more with the ebb and flow and less with the blow by blow; transition it back to Becca; maybe drop in with the occasional op-ed, such as "64 Questions to Avoid Asking Your Patient... Again", "Brighten Up Your Cocktail Hour" or "Why the Warriors Never Answer the Call".
Trust me, you'll hear from me if there are special circumstances or needs. And let's hope there aren't! Meanwhile, visiting hours are now open. Keep those cards and letters coming. Come on down if you're healthy. It will bring a smile to Becca.
Love,
Steve

Yay! Such good news that you are home and feeling better than when you went in. Though I can't come by to say hi and bring you cards and flowers, I am there in spirit. Ginger for nausea really helps. A little fresh ginger in hot water makes great ginger tea to sip. I am so thankful for Steve's blogs keeping us long distance folks updated. My love to the three of you.
