Friday Evening – PostOp. On to Page 2...
Tracy’s surgery went well – a little longer than was anticipated, and with a late start. All in all – she’s doing well. Groggy, a fair amount of pain (duh), and very thirsty. She’s had nothing to drink since last night other than several liters of Lactated Ringer’s (blech). Lots of medtech around, blinking lights, beeboops, zzzzshhzzzing noises, and a really cool pump dispensing something that is most definitely non-OTC pain medication. (it is in a locked box and will be her bestest friend for the next twelve to eighteen hours) Supper consists of tea, ginger ale, orange jello, and chicken broth. It will probably be the most expensive cup of orange jello she’s had – ever.
Not much else to share at this point other than she’s resting and we should be home sometime tomorrow. Bill...
Hi Bill,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the phone call....sorry I missed it. I'm so glad to know that Tracy's surgery went well. I've been thinking of you both all day. It must have been an incredibly long day for you, but now you can hold her hand again(loved the picture!) Please give her my love and tell her to take full advantage of the locked box.
