Susan was discharged from the hospital at 11am today....yeah! It must be pretty exhausting to go under general anesthesia, sit/sleep in a hospital for a couple days, and then come home.....because she is snoozing Susan! Of course, the Valium and Percocet may have something to do with that as well.
I expect she will be back to blogging herself tomorrow. It's eye-opening to realize how much we use our hands/arms for everything (okay, that sounds like a stupid comment). I'm just thinking that even tomorrow, someone will have to put the laptop in her lap and then remove it because it's too heavy for her to lift in these first few days.
Even though she was tired, I noticed Susan brighten up when she was reading the cards, admiring the flowers, and opening some gifts from all of her wonderful friends and family. To be honest, I got choked up when I was reading the cards from such a wide array of thoughtful people. I think it speaks to the immense kindness of others as well as Susan's own investment in Hallmark cards that she is always sending to others.
My sister Sharon is bringing over beef stew tonight which should be scrumptious and energy building for Suze. Big shout out to cousin Jennie, the official Team Buring Social Networking Guru for researching and setting up this whole blog thing. She is the mastermind behind it!
Let us all enjoy our homes tonight and thank God we're not in the hospital. Of course, I could just have my cell phone beep throughout the night and wake Susan up every couple hours so she won't miss her routine! :-)
And a big shout out to cousin Shauna who has kept us all informed! It's so nice to hear about the Suze progress and not have to worry. I know Team Buring doesn't want to field the multitude of calls, emails and texts from all of us concerened about the well-being of you guys. Sooooo...I think I'll just go make a toast in honor of the whole Team Buring gang to celebrate the fact that you are "home sweet home"! Love you guys.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to set up a blog so we can keep up with how you are doing! It is wonderful to see you looking perky so soon after surgery. I don't need to tell you that you have a lot of people sending positive vibes your way for a speedy recovery. Best, Jan
