A long awaited trip

I was discharged from Hershey Medical today and it couldn't have felt better. I got home walked around for an hour or so and then Mindy and I took a nap for about 2 hours in my bed, Oooooo what a great feeling to be back in a real bed. My dads 50th birthday was celebrated yesterday in the hospital and it was a good time. My favorite part of the night was when my dad blew out his imaginary candles on his cake because you can't have fire in the hospital. It feels great to be at home and I'd like to thank everyone again for your support and prayers.
