Well I'm finally home, we made an overnight stop at my parents yesterday, so it set us back a day, but it was well worth it, I had a great time being at my mom's and relaxing. Came home and realized my cats didn't miss me nearly as much as I missed them.. in fact, I wonder if they even remember me by the way they're acting.. but ah well, that's cats for ya..

So I'm just putting this in writing cause I'm some pissed at this.. the whole 3 weeks in the hospital they kept asking me if my feet were swelling, which at the time they were not, I never bothered to ask why, and how would that be significant, but now my first day home, and suddenly my feet are starting to swell... now the old me would just ignore it until one foot started to come off. but this whole situation taught me to be extra cautious even of minor things. So I call Digby emergency room and explain the situation, that I have cancer, underwent radiation for 10 days, and was questioned about swelling, and then I asked if I should be concerned. Well living up to the golden level of Digby's medical support, no one there has any clue what it means, or suggestions about what to do about it.. Not even an offer to call the doctor on call and find out.. so I call the Victoria General 8th floor where I was staying, seeing as the nurses there take care of cancer patients everyday, and the nurse who answers again has no clue what swelling in the feet means, but I got some suggestions about the fact that I've been sitting all day and in the hospital I was laying down and its normal that my feet swell, but I might wanna call the doctor on duty tomorrow..

So I'm just leaving this here to testify what happened tonight so that if my feet fall off you know who's fault it is. I just can't get over the level of non help one gets in a hospital these days. I mean I told them I have spinal cord compression, I run the constant risk at any moment of becoming permanently paralyzed, and they talk to me like if I was asking for an ambulance for a hang nail. I mean... I'm sorry, I have no words to describe what I'm feeling right now. Part of me actually wishes I die as a direct result of their unwillingness to help, and my parents sue them for so many million dollars that these hospitals start treating peoples' concerns seriously. OK rant over for now... the real update is that I'm home, and god I missed home.. come see me guys, oh and Wade and Matt, I'm sorry if I came across as snotty yesterday, the pharmacy took forever to process my meds, so the pain was eating at me and putting me in a crappy mood, sorry guys, but it was great seeing you!
