Soon enough

Two more nights in here. I really hope I'm not jinxing myself. I am ready to leave and would have no problems packing my bags now and just wait by the front door for the next thirty six. Tom Petty was right when he said the waiting is the hardest part. Although, I think he was referring to something else.

I think the most freeing feeling I'll get from being released is getting my catheter removed. It's like a handcuff on my chest. Unfortunately when I get admitted to the next and final hospital, I'll have another catheter placed, but this one for about four months. I guess I shouldn't think about that just now. Freedom from here for even a short while shouldn't be tainted with thoughts of my next stint. For some reason I keep subtly referring to this as prison and I'm about to be paroled. I hope I get a good PO.

Well, I appreciate all the emails, phone calls and visits. And if I don't respond to you right away, I apologize. It's nothing personal, life just gets in the way sometimes.
