Now that I am conscious and coherent I thought I would take my crack at writing a a post. The last couple of days have been filled with medications to knock me out and sedate me as well as medications to fight the pain. Most of the medications I have dealt with fine with the exception of one. I don't really remember its name all I do remember is that it gave me moments of forgetfulness and hallucinations. Those were not fun moments to have. If you ever want to hear about them feel free to ask Leah or I wee can each give you plenty of stories with our side of the spin on them.
Per my health I am on the mending stretch. I have today gone to the bathroom on my (of the liquid variety) and tonight I started producing a few gas bubbles (of the not so liquid variety). Besides that I have made 4 trips around the required walking portion of the wing I am on. I faintly remember walking around one of these with Leah when she was in the hospital several years ago.
I'm sure i haves more on my list of goals over the next few days how many those end up being. The doctor told us yesterday my day to go home would likely be Tuesday. We have heard other answers from other people but at this point I'm sticking to what my Doctor tells me and take every other opinion as a slim possibility.
For now back to relaxing and or healing.

Dear Kent,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you have been taking longer and longer walks - the healing process takes some pain to gain. You are doing great.
Those "monster-sized" praying hands you were hallucinating about probably have something to do with all the people who have been praying for your healing.
You are loved!
