After one night in the hospital, Mom is doing much better. I was able to talk to her for quite some time this evening and she sounds great! She was able to get all the IV's out and is on oral pain medication that is managing her pain much better than the past couple weeks. Those IV's are such a pain to deal with that it is nice to have free movement!
The Physical Therapists were by today and gave her the green light to move about her room on her own. She was even going for a walk around the unit after we hung up. The surgeon was by and said she was doing well but he wanted to her stay at least another night and maybe until Thursday.
She had a couple visitors today and said that was nice, I worry that she gets lonely but she said she likes to rest on her own. It's hard for me to be away knowing she is by herself. At least she has Dan to visit her but since he started his new job he has been on a schedule too.
LT and I plan to head to the big city for the weekend so we can spend lots of quality relaxing time with mom!
