Thursday afternoon she called me to say she was being discharged and I could bring her home.
So yesterday night I did just that.
I don't know that either of us have ever slept as soundly as we did last night. This morning, I walked into work in a good mood for the first time in a month.
There's still going to be weeks of convalescence and physiotherapy, but she's home now.
Home waiting for me to get there, as a matter of fact.
So I'll catch you crazy kids later. Thanks as always to everybody who's stopped by to say hi and had some kind words. I'll be becoming more active again in the coming weeks. You know I love y'all, right?
Especially birthday girls.

I lived my youth to the fullest extent possible. I threw things at walls, I smashed cake in people's faces, I went out to pubs and bars, I danced in chi chi dance clubs and at frat parties, I don't regret a thing I did in my youth, as it makes me who I am today.
I very much like aging, but I don't enjoy this kind of new-jadedness that comes along with being my age. Perhaps it's the people with whom I surround myself, but I find myself regarding people under the age of twenty three with a kind of bemused grin on my face. That is what I hate.
Why can't I just remember how much fun being young is, and try to teach these young people at whom I stand back and just watch get themselves into personality train wrecks? Is it because I went to the school of hard knocks, and I want the same for them?
Who knows.
Oh yes, and spend the weekend cuddling and being in love and saying "I love you" and making sure that she knows exactly how much you love her and care about her, and how much it pained you to see her in so much pain.
So glad the girl and your mood are getting better.
