DAY 1 POST-OP

I think I prayed for the wrong thing. I ask God to give Terry a break. I didn't think He would be so literal.
FYI, Terry is doing as well as can be expected after her surgery. She is almost pain free and she spent most of Christmas day sleeping. Her diet has gone from clear liquids to a regular one, although the food in this hospital could be the poster child for bad institutional cooking. They served her goulash and carrots for dinner, after two fork-fulls she opted for the safety net of jell-o and pudding. Her vitals and lab work were all normal with one exception. Her hemoglobin was too low due to blood loss during surgery. She is scheduled for a transfusion. I hope it doesn't have to go from the blood bank via the kitchen before she gets it.
Monday the hospital will get back to normal, she is to have a physical therapy evaluation. I hope to speak to the discharge planner and a social worker and then get her transferred to a Michigan re-hab unit. The physician in charge of her case said that Terry will need to be an inpatient for a few weeks of physical therapy rehab. My prayer today is to get that all co-ordinated so I can get her to Michigan asap.
I hope that your CHRISTmas day was wonderful.
