Surgeon #1 stopped by much earlier today. She had already performed 4 surgeries from 7:30 - 11:00. Wow! She can be a bit curt at times but this AM, she was quite funny. (Did I mention that both surgeons are women?)Today they discontinued the IV fluids and morphine (all good things must come to an end). She ate solid foods for lunch and dinner (Turkey breast with dressing/gravy ....I think it's the same thing they serve in grade school cafeterias!). In and out of bed to the restroom, chair, etc. ...from my vantage point Suze has gained a lot of strength today. Percocet is now on board and seems to be controlling the pain quite well (easy for me to say!)
Late in the day, one of us commented that Susan looked good...."pinking up" as they say. I took a picture of her to show her and when she saw it, she said, "That's not bad. Post that mo'fo' ".....and so I did.
Have a good night! Tomorrow should be a busy day with discharge and getting set up at home...yeah!
Suze! You look awesome! Are you sure you're not just at a spa somewhere? Seriously, you look great! Amazing how quickly they get you up and at 'em huh? So good to see you smiling! Maybe tomorrow you'll be able to get some real rest at home. (Shauna, loved the sarcasm in the "overnight report" post. I find great humor in sarcasm. I'll have to admit, I like it! :)
ReplyDeleteLove you all and continue to keep you in my prayers!

I agree, you're really at a spa over in Hyde Park, or a point further south, aren't you?!
ReplyDeleteGet good rest...maybe the housekeepers will have the night off...
