i finally got to bring my huney home! WELCOME HOLMES HOME!

we finally got out of the hospital at approximately 12:00pm.
shelb was texting me once they come to pick him up from the room, as i was awaiting his arrival in the truck. while i was waiting, one of the transport guys(the ones that do the transporting to the vehicles) ask me to move closer to the ramp(the handicap ramp). he kept motioning for me to move. shelb had just text me to tell me he was on the elevator heading down. i finally rolled down the window to ask the transport guy what he was saying, he repeated for like the forth time...."move closer to the curb." i said, "but i don't see him." he said, "right there in the wheel chair." as i kept looking, i still didn't see him. i said, "that one is not mine." the next question about killed me... he ask, " ARE YOU SURE?" now do you think that i would know who i am picking up at the hospital's main entrance? come on! he looked at the man in the wheelchair, and he was motioning to the parking deck-- like his ride was coming from the parking deck." the transport guy looked at me and apologized. "i am soooooo sorry!" that was the excitement while i was waiting on my husband. So i text shelb to tell him they were trying to give me some poor ol' man in a wheelchair and then questioned the fact that i told him he wasn't mine.

shelb finally text me said he was almost there.

i finally got the right man in my truck and headed southbound. we got home all in one piece! he is at home and has not had any pain meds up to this point. it is now going on 5:30pm so for those of you that think my driving is terrible---- he didn't have to have any pain meds because of it~ LOL :)

he will go back to the dr. on thursday to see if any of the staples can come out. he removed the drain before we left the hospital. the pathology report showed the same thing that henry came up with which was fibromatosis. NO CANCER! Thank the LORD! another blessing. and another prayer answered!

We are ecstatic to have Shelb back home. Praying for a speedy recovery~Lots of Love,
The Holmes
