..."Relative comfort" taking into consideration that 36 hours ago some very skilled and determined people were cutting pieces out of Nancy's spine, wrestling it into an unfamiliar position and constraining it with wedges, titanium rods and screws.
Guess I'll never again be able to complain about pulling a muscle in my back - practically every muscle between her chin and knees has to conform to a new shape, stretch, and angle of operation.
Despite all that, she is sleeping away without the heavy I.V. narcotic that was so disorienting. Make no mistake, the oral medications she is taking are potent enough to make fine additions to any radio demagogue's lunchbox, yet they seem to be allowing her to think and articulate more clearly than she could with the other stuff.
Highlight of the day: Nanc was able to have brief conversations with each of our kids in all of their various time zones. That was a great thing for all of us.
