Anita is resting relatively comfortably tonight. She is complaining of pain in her left arm, which we figured out was the lymph node removal area. It doesn't seem that bad, as so far it is not keeping her from resting. Considering what she went through, I'd say she is progressing as well as could be expected.
The level of nursing care here so far has been superb. Her night nurse is Carrie, who has been taking really good care of her. Of course, so far she has been just in surgery, then in CCU, but even so the nurses have been excellent.
It's 11 oclock and we're waiting for Dr. D to come check on her
update: Dr. D has come in to check on Anita-excellent progress report, he is very happy. She is going to a regular room sometime tomorrow, and is going to start getting out of bed a little tomorrow, too. They are going to give her stuff to help her sleep for the night (adavan).
Signing off for the night
I hope you got some sleep Larry . . . that was a very long day for you I am sure! I am glad she is doing so well and will be up and walking today at least a little bit.
ReplyDeleteAnita, sounds like Larry is taking really good care of you, along with your friends and family. I know your strong positive attitude (along with the machete)will keep you moving forward. Don't let Larry get too tired.......you need him when you get home. Can't wait to start stamping with you. Hugs,
