Friday Morning

Mary was awake when I arrived at 7:30. She had not had a pain med since 3:30 so the cycle continues to go longer. At 8AM she asked for another injection and told the nurse the pain level was about 4 (down from last night's 6). Good signs.

Mary ordered breakfast--if you can call jello, tea and shaved ice breakfast. She asked to save yesterday's paper that was in the room and is looking forward to today's paper so she can do both crossword puzzles--a sign of true normalcy.

I told her I would be back about 1:30PM. She asked me to bring the mac laptop so she can get on line--another great sign.

The x-rays were taken before I arrived so we are waiting for the path report and the radiologists assessment of the latest pictures.

When she takes the pain killer, she tends to sleep for about an hour then she wakes up. Given the ~5 hour cycle and an 8AM injection, she is probably going to be awake starting at 9AM and until roughly 1PM.

That's all for now. More later.
