Home At Last...Again!

[Elspode]

As long as he doesn't develop an infection again, his prognosis is back to his old self. Repeated compressions and re-expansions of his brain don't seem to have done any permanent damage, but he is still a bit more scattered than he was before all this started. Understandable, I think, given the fact that he's done more than his share of morphine, hydrocodone and Lortab over the past month or so. I'd be spacey, too. Come to think of it, I *am*, and I didn't even get any good drugs through all of this.

He's pretty tuckered out. For some reason, spending lots of time in a hospital bed turns out to be not at all restful...

He's not completely out of the woods yet, but he's well enough right now to be out of the hospital, so we'll take that, and hope that he just grows more hair and not more staph bacteria.
