Third time's a charm?

I was elated to learn from the day nurse that my blood test results (peak anti-factor Xa level) are right in the middle of the target range. So that means I can go home today and continue taking Lovenox! Since this is my third hospital discharge, I'm preparing myself for the process to take hours. If I get out before lunch, I'll be pleasantly surprised. There's a noon home game tomorrow, so getting out before the crazy Friday traffic starts would be nice. 

For those who don't live here, State College becomes the third largest city in PA on football weekends. The hospital is along one of the main roads that becomes very congested. This is why, when Lily was a week overdue and my water had broken, we waited until the third quarter of the Indiana game (i.e., no traffic) to drive to the hospital. 

Thanks so much to friends who visited yesterday and brought or sent flowers, socks, treats, and trashy magazines. I have to confess I didn't even know Harry and Olivia were a couple; how is she coping with the breakup and drama about her movie???

I am REALLY hoping to stay out of the hospital this time. I hope the Lovenox will get the clotting under control so that I can get my stamina back and not feel short of breath whenever I'm doing something more strenuous than sitting.
