I slept well again last night. The pain has dramatically decreased since the stent was removed Monday. It's not even in the front of my mind anymore at all. The schedule and making sure everything is done is the only thing I think of.
So I had scheduled to stay here in Montreal until Sunday, but plans have changed. I broke down this morning after thinking of having to be in a hotel, alone, with nobody there to help me. I have none of the supplies I'd need, and would not be able to fathom getting everything done. So this morning I called and got my flight changed to tommorrow afternoon. It was supposed to be a few hundred dollars to change it, but I told them I had surgery and I was able to get a medical discount, which brought it down to about $60. I also asked for assistance at the airport and will now have a wheelchair and first dibs when getting on the plane. That'll really help out, since it's still hard to walk. It's getting better and better by the day though.
Coming up to the end of the stay it was starting to get a little scary, knowing that I'll have to manage all of this without the constant help of the nurses and staff here. But now that it's tommorrow, I'm getting more anxious to just be home, see my boyfriend again, and be in the comfort of my own home. It's going to be a long day tommorrow. The last leg of this journey. But I think overall it'll be nice to be out and about and start getting back to a normal life. It worked out good though with the flight change, since instead of having a 2 hour flight followed by a 5 1/2 hour flight, now I have a 3 hour flight followed by a 4 hour flight. The flights are still long, but I was dreading being in an airplane coach seat for 5 1/2 hours. It would have been torture.
Anyways, there's really nothing else to talk about today, so I'll leave it at that.
