OMG!!!!! He's coming home today!!!!!!

It's about time, huh?  Before we leave.....I've been wanting to tell you about the thousands of extremely cheerful dafodils that we're surrounded by since the beginning.  Spring is just exploding around us.  And I've got to tell about the humungous yaughts outside our window.  Seattle has a full spectrum of people.  I'm especially fond of the people we've  met on this floor.  They are extraordinary individuals.  It seems so strange to just leave.  To have gone through such a unique experience with people who genuinely care about you is something you can never forget.  And to think these people were perfect strangers only a month ago.  Not sure how I should feel about Jim coming home.  I mean of course I'm thrilled that we'll be together again.  But the journey is going to be challenging.  Finally, Jim will get some good uninterupted sleep.  He will be forced to get some exercise by going to the clinic everyday.  I know the food thing is going to be a battle.  His tastebuds are just fried and everything tastes like cardboard.  Bottled water tastes like swamp water.  His immune system is like that of an infant.  He hasn't built up any anti-bodies like you and me yet.  He will be real susceptible to catching just about anything.  So, we need to keep a close eye on his temperature.  People ask me how I'm doing in the midst of all of this.  And all I can say is that there has been a tremendous amount of grace that has been bestowed upon me.  I feel strong.  I'm ready to be the Caregiver I promised I would be.  Bring it on!!!!
