Monday Evening

What a difference a day makes! Mary is alert, carrying on full conversations and not drifting off in the middle of them. She has been out of bed several times and the last included a trip to the sink to brush her teeth.

Ingrid, MaryR and Terry did the tag team today and for that I must thank them profusely. It allowed me to concentrate on work and not be distracted. Thank you!

Mary and I had a nice long chat about what she remembered and when she thought it happened.

She does remember the conversation with the surgical resident and the "I hate it when someone won't answer a simple question. Or perhaps, you don't know the answer?" and later that night being distracted by NCIS and not saying goodnight to me. From there on, she remembers nothing until she woke up in the wee hours of Saturday morning in ICU and feeling disoriented because she didn't know where she was or how she got there. In other words, she lost Wed, Thurs and Friday or a total of about 72 hours.

Our girl is back now and getting stronger by the minute.
