Vera's surgery went well, per the doctor .... and she seems so much stronger and more alert than she did post the January back surgery. I am pleased. Of course I give lots of credit to the CPAP machine (which she kinda poo-poos) ... but it makes sense to me that if she is better oxygenated, she will be healthier .... more stamina, better healing capabilities, etc.
When I left she was rating her pain/discomfort at 7 or 8 (out of 10); so she's definitetely not having a picnic. It may be a l-o-o-ng nite for her.
I stayed until about 8:30 tonite at the hospital and came close to "losing" the car. The valet parking at the outpatient center closed at 9:00; and they were in the process of moving the "leftover" cars over to the main hospital garage. For a few minutes there I had visions of having to sleep on the couch in Vera's room.
More tomorrow,
Marilyn
