Saturday morning and real food!

Mary said she slept well and long. The oral pain meds (vicodin) didn't cause any undo nausea. She has ordered a breakfast of cream of wheat, hard boiled egg and fruit. Good signs!

They drew blood this morning as planned. We assume that the doc will decide to release or not based on the results of the blood test. And, we don't know how long that takes.

All in all, the horrible pain and discomfort that started in Denver two weeks ago are under control. The vicodin is helping her through the pain associated with the stents. Oh, and her yellow color is fading away so that part of the plumbing is working just fine.

I slept for almost 11 hours last night. Guess I was tired. I need to feed the dogs, clean up and get over there to see our girl.

If you want to call, the cell phones are with me being charged. Calling her in the hospital is certainly an ok thing to do. If she doesn't answer, I would assume she is on a walk (another sign that she is ready to go home). I'll be there with the cell phones by 10:15.

So very very happy to hear that Mary is so much better. Why am I not surprised that food is one of her biggest indicators of well being !

This sounds so much better! I'm so glad the pain is under control. And I know she'll feel better being at home!
