Lisa made it to the Radisson. She was happy to be out of the hospital and is very much looking forward to coming home. She had the bellhop run across the street to get her an apple juice. She is ordering a macaroni and cheese from Applebee’s kid’s menu and will probably have that for lunch and dinner. She can always order more if she wants some later. She says she does not have adequate pain control, but it isn’t so bad if she can just sit down and not move. She was just done arguing with them, and wanted out of there. Dr. Sutherland said he wants to see her again in 3 months and she will decide at that time if she wants to go. Right now, she just wants to be home and the thought of going back to Minnesota is unappealing. She may have a different opinion in 3 months….when it is cold. Ouch. We hate snow, but of course it snows in Indiana too, so that excuse is null and void. Thank you for the cards and E-cards and letters she has received. They came at times when she needed the most encouragement. It meant a lot to her.

Have a safe flight home!! pre call and have the wheelchair waiting for you! even if it is just at the ticket counter! you will fly thru the checkpoints and get on plane first. so no waiting around out in lobby. but the walk from cab to the counter about did jerry in. Also make sure the cabbie takes you to the right portion of the airport!!!! we got taken once to the other side.. OMGosh that was a LONG hike and a Tram ride to the Right side! Hang in there and hopefully you wont have any problems and everything will start working out right for you, the islets and enzymes! i called radisson yesterday, they swore no one checked in from the hospital! ha! should have asked the bell hop!
