| Anniversary card - 'Still Holding Hands' |
More lines are disconnected each day. Just after the operation she looked like the wiring loom on a Jaguar V-12. Now she's down to three, with a good chance that two more will be disconnected by tomorrow, only leaving a saline drip.
Still looking for the balance between pain relief and an easy stomach. The digestive tract is the last system to wake up after anesthesia, and with 10+ hours under, it may be this time tomorrow until it's fully functioning.
Hopefully that will help. It would be a nice anniversary gift.
Other than that , she's increased the frequency and distance of her walks and the doctor thinks she can move along to the rehab unit early next week.
They took the dressing off the incision. Despite the fearsome length, it's beautifully straight and looks to be healing nicely.
Deborah is coming in tonight for the weekend, we're both looking forward to it!
Congratulations to you both! So glad you are posting these updates. More glad that Nancy is improving day by day. She is so brave to have done this, and you too. Such a lot to go through.
ReplyDeleteA bit of news for you. We have made a deal on the house on the little lake east of Whitehall. The current owners will live in it through the winter and we close on it on May 2nd, 2011. If we can get our house sold, much easier here than in Michigan, we would hope to move there next summer. Being just 35 minutes from the cottage boggles our minds.
More healing vibes sent your way from Jan and Steve
Good news! You can brush up on the lyrics to "Kicks"
