I Have Returned

I think I’m back. They let me out of the hospital today. Six weeks. I am told it takes a while for “chemo-brain” to wear off. Well, it could’ve killed me. It messed up my memory pretty good.
It could’ve killed me, though.
Upon my return home, my first order of business was to fall off the front step. This greatly alarmed my wife. I’m all right, the fall did me no harm.

Hmm… It won’t let me paste an image.
How did my legs get so weak? I am enfeebled! I’m also finding it hard to remember how to do this.

I have greatly missed you all, everybody. I pray I can stay out of the hospital. The instructions for doing so seem (to me) challenging and complicated. Just what I need. Hot dog.
Please bear with me as my patchy memory screws up my blog. Looks like this’ll be harder than I thought.

P.S.: It seems this machine does not want me to post images. *Sigh*

  1. Oh, Lee, I’m so glad to see you here again! I’ve been praying for you almost constantly, even offering up my Holy Communion for you several times a week. And right now you’re part of a Christmas novena that I’m praying. Don’t worry about getting back in trim right away — it’ll probably come gradually and then all at once — just keep us posted on how you’re doing. (But Patty says you’ve had an idea for a new Joe Collidge post, so that’s something to shoot for, no?) 😄

    Meanwhile, I’ll continue praying. It’s so good to see you back!

    1. Thanks, Phoebe. I thought I was just gonna walk in here and pick up where I left off. Well, that was fantasy! I still have a lot of getting better to do. And I appreciate your prayers.

  2. We’re with you, Lee, and praying for you. Take it easy and don’t get too frustrated – you’ve been through a major health issue, and it will take a little time to get reoriented and doing things again.

  3. Thank God that they let you come home!!! I’ve been praying for you and your wife, and I will pray that there is no need for you to return! Take it one step a time!

  4. Mousekin – Welcome back, Lee! So happy for you. We’ll keep praying and you will get strong again. Your return is the best Christmas present we could ask for.

  5. I’m with all the others who commented, I am glad you are home. That is just part of your road to recovery. It will take a while, but we are praying that it will be a quick recovery.

  6. Welcome back home, Mr. Duigon! I will be praying for your recovery.

    I was very happy when your newest book Ocean of Time became available last month and it is now one of my favorites in the series!
