Hi! John and I got back from the hospital yesterday. Gee, we were there for over three weeks. When we left, I didn't think we would be staying that long. John went through many tests, and they never did figure out what his "fevers of unknown origin" were from. He had fevers of around 102 degrees for about 3 weeks in total. That's something else. Combined with the fevers in the past, the doctors are a little concerned, even though the fevers are not present for the time being. John and I have to go back in about two weeks to check out the results of a few final tests, and then he may get another test. Hopefully he will not have to stay in Hershey, or get checked into the hospital for awhile.
Because this isn't a good time. We are in the process of moving. I am packing up the apartment now, so that if we get called back to Hershey, we will be out of this apartment, by the due date. I am actually working (packing, etc.) on July 4, LOL. Doesn't matter anyway, I don't have anything else I want to do. It is actually freeing to be out of Hope Lodge and doing something I want to do. I REALLY appreciate it's service, but I was getting bored there and wanted to get on with my life. There were so many tests, and we didn't get out. The most we did was walk to the end of the driveway, LOL.
Maybe John and I will do something tonight, on the 4th of July. They have some fireworks here rated best in the country. I don't really feel like going out though. Perhaps I will watch them on television. Gee I am getting old, LOL!
I just asked John what he wanted to add. Like how he was feeling. He said yesterday he felt "disoriented". "Being three weeks in Hershey and then suddenly two hours later we are back here. And everything is different. And adjusting to a new schedule and new things to do."
He said this has happened to him before coming back after a long stay.
I feel sort of the same way.
But we are glad to be home.
I hope we stay home for a long while, normalcy would be great!
Love you all, Krissy :)

Welcome home to you and John! You know what they say, home is where the heart is! Wishing you love and peace! (Hugs) Indigo
ReplyDeleteSo glad your back in your own surroundings. Even if you are spending the day packing. If I were nearby I'd come help you. Just have a good day and enjoy being out of the hospital setting. Watching the fireworks is really the best way, it looks like I'm going to the fireworks today, but there's nothing wrong with sitting in your jammies with a soda and a bowl of popcorn watching them on TV.

ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been around much lately. I have really let you guys down with the Gazette. But I am better now so hopefully next time will be around more. Glad you are home! Tammy
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you two got to come back home. That in itself is a celebration. You are probably worn out and I am sure you are not old. Just the exausted body makes you feel that way. Hope you get everything all packed up soon and can move. Helen

ReplyDeleteKrissy, Normalcy is what you BOTH need. Oh, I will pray you can have more normalcy in your lives. I am happy to hear you are home. I WISH they had more definite answers on dear John's fever, though. You guys are tough though and have learned to roll with what life deals you. I dunno how you do it so well. You are awesome. I can't wait for you to get in your new apt. Krssy, as soon as you have regualar access to a computer IM me. We need to talk, girlfriend. I have missed you a lot. Love to both of you, Happy 4th.

ReplyDeleteGod Bless you both Krissy~ I'm glad you're home and able to get ready for your new home too! Carolyn :)
ReplyDeletePraying all will go well with the tests and the move, dearhearts. I can see how disoriented would describe the major shifts from the holding pattern in one place to being home.

Hi, I've been reading your journal and I want you to know, my prayers are with you and your husband. Keep the faith!! God bless,Barbara
ReplyDeleteHope your 4th July was enjoyable, Krissy. Can understand you want to avoid getting institutionalised.
ReplyDeleteas a person who just moved have fun. LOL. I hate moving. Happy that You and john are home. Hope it all goes well. Hugs and love.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are home. Hope you got to see some fireworks.Sure hate to hear that you're going to be in the middle of a move. Wish we JLanders could come help out. You know we would. take care of yourselves.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Barb
So happy that you guys are at home, even though you have a lot to do. Enjoy the weekend together. Hugs and prayers, Dawn
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Krissy, you have had so much on your plate plus a move. I'm keeping you and John in my prayers. I'm supposing no origin for a fever is far better than what could be. LOL...I watched the fireworks on tv because I'm terrified of the booms. I'm such a wuss. Big Hugs Chris
ReplyDeleteyay, I'm glad your home. good luck with your move and continued prayers for you all. love, Shelly
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked in with you for a while, I had no idea you were back in Hershey. I am sure it is disorienting to go back and forth, with such long hospital stays. Hope they figure out what is causing the fevers. Love, Jae
ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
ReplyDeleteSo you do not like dogs? Is that what I remember reading on my Journal? That's ok-I will still be your friend.
We have something in common-- I really do not like fireworks,
they hurt my sensitive ears. I stay indoors in my bed when they go off.
My family had a cat that used to love to wear sweater because he was old and liked the warmth.
I hope your family is doing well-
Your new canine friend ,
Julius
I hope they find out what is wrong with John and treat it properly. My prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment you left in my journal. Been working much lately and tending to my sister who had radical cancer surgery. I have not been in the journals lately.
