The Next Step

It's Thurs. morning, one day after surgery. Teri had a pretty good night resting off and on until about 3:30 this morning. As she felt up to trying to get out of bed, but it may of been too much too soon. Her blood pressure dropped, and she got really dizzy and faint. The result was she wasn't able to have her morphine drip for about 4 hours after the episode which of course caused her to have more pain.

Now it is about 10:00 and she seems to be back on track, resting somewhat comfortablly. Not sure when the doctor will be in this morning, but I am not anticipating any different news than we had last night.

We will see how the day goes and begin planning for her to go home.

  2. Why am I not surprised....you never were one to lay around idly. Will you please remember what your body just went thru and try to slow down just a bit. Pain is so ugly and you don't like it! I love you,,,,Shar

  3. BTW Nana - your words of wisdom last night were right on - please,,,you and Mom take care of yourselves and each other too. Teri needs you both, but not necessarily joined at the hip - give each other some breaks and know that there are lots of us out here to help....I love you
