We are home and happy! I cannot describe how much we love our bed! I may not get up all day. Oh that's a fantasy! On the flip side, Jeff will NOT want to be in bed all day. They are planting wheat right outside our door and Jeff is going crazy wanting to be out there. Usually I would just let him go for his "mental health" but as we were leaving the hospital yesterday his latest lab results came in. He is dangerously close to being neutropenic right now. His white blood cells are dwindling down to nothing and that means he will have no immune system. The simplest infection would put him back in the hospital. So he really can't be out in the dirt and muck of the farm. He will have to be on a special diet also to keep him safe. No fresh fruits or vegetables due to the risk of bacterial contamination. And I have to get all my live plants out. Crazy! His next blood test will be Tuesday. After that he will probably be pretty isolated for a while.
I just looked up and he's out the door to "check on a tractor". That man! Why doesn't he want to lie in bed and read magazines and watch back to back episodes of Sell This House? If he's not back inside in about 3 minutes I'm going out there in my jammies to embarrass him in front of his employees. Wish me luck.
Comforted,
Jeff and Leta
