Dar was on her feet a little today, not long, just enough to move to a chair and back. She did that twice. The physical therapist was in and gave her some exercises she can do in bed. No bowel noises yet so she remains on a liquid diet.
The staff seems to be content to let Lindsay do everything except administer drugs and IV fluids. Lindsay spends most of her time there so Dar is getting real good care.
The plan is to get Dar walking around some today and getting her to tolerate and work through more pain than before. She won't have that little green button to push every few minutes at home, so she needs to get used to being in some discomfort (that’s what they call pain) before she comes home.
It appears that 3 - 5 days was a bit optimistic. Maybe sometime later in this week we can bring her home.
Oh yeah.... I found her glasses!!
Thanks for the update, Shannon!

ReplyDeleteI finally connected to the blog and just caught up with the update. Thanks for this detailed info, Shannon. I can see Darlene is in good hands. Hanging there, girl. Need to start walking, though it may cause "discomfort." Gently and slowly, one step at the time. You can do it! Love, Yukari
