Jiggety Jig!
And the first part of that would be.... "Home again, Home again!"
I'm very happy to say that I have been discharged as of about 3pm today. I have a RAFT of meds now - and, to my chagrin, some will be long-term. I'm just not fond of the idea of long-term meds, but I don't get a vote on this.
I took a GOOD nap after we got home. Best sleep I've gotten in several days, and I didn't even have chemical assistance. We're about to eat - salmon, this time. I'm going to have ISSUES with this low-sodium thing. I've always thought that the quantity of water that I drink on a daily basis (1.5 gallons minimum) would appease the demons of sodium. I have research to do to verify this now! Meanwhile, I guess I'll just become a dietary curmudgeon and complain about everything that WOULD TASTE BETTER with a little salt. And cheese.
I will not be going to church tomorrow - pretty sure I'd be overwhelmed with well-wishers. No medium is adequate to express my appreciation to everyone, and I know that in-person would be best, but I just know that I'd have a BAD day for the rest of the day. Just not ready for the exertion.
I have a road ahead that is more uncertain, yet clearer in the most important ways. Guess what - I STILL need your prayers, for me and for my family. I can hardly wait to hug each of you.

Mike,
We've been praying for you since we heard about it. I'm sure that the whole situation seems so surreal but know that God and I (and many others) are still talking about you regularly :)
The cardiac diet really isn't that bad! At least you're not doing a BRAT diet for six plus months! Im so glad that you're doing better. I'll continue to pray for you & your family!
I'm glad you are able to be home now and sleep in your own bed. Tommy and I will keep the prayers coming too...
Hi Michael,
We're looking forward to seeing you back at work...keep us posted on when we can expect your return!
Hugs a-waiting!
Jeannine
