Friday 31/05/13 Florian left the hospital after 5 weeks: 1 week in Buffalo and 4 weeks at Strong.
They confirmed in the morning that he could leave. I asked at what hour we may be able to leave and they told us around noon. Of course I thought this meant at noon we would be on our way, turns out we were wrong.
Florian had a headache that morning, they gave him some meds to help it pass. Meanwhile I was emptying his room with multiple trips to and from the parking lot: excellent for my pedometer and my daily 10,000 steps (Corning activity challenge).
At 11:30 I was ready to go. Florian was calm and in his bed playing Xbox. I told him it should be time for him to shower and his answer was "patience". He was right we didn't leave until 7 pm. They wanted to verify how his headache was proceeding then we had to prepare discharge papers and look for his meds. Of course they didn't tell him too much and made us wait (we didn't dare to move in case we missed the next nurse or doctor.)
Overall this day I understood why you are called a "patient" while in the hospital. You indeed have to be very patient. With Florian's advice I believe I started to understand everything slowly.
So we are heading home at around 9 pm, of course Florian had already organized everything with his friends and was ready to celebrate. And then decided to do it again the next day.
Of course Sunday he was a bit tired, but since then he has been a bit calmer and has been resting a lot more.
It was also Sunday night that he shaved his head with his friends. He didn't warn us but we are getting used to it over time. The important part is that he still has his beard!! Pictures are incoming.
