Kathy is really doing fairly well.  She has only had to use pain meds once today and is pretty ambulatory – although quite weak.  Her left arm is almost normal range of motion and the right she’s not supposed to try, but if she forgets pain reminds her pretty quick.   She’s sleeping quite a bit and to be honest that’s probably the best part of the healing process.  Her drains are getting less and less quite quickly also.  Her swelling in the right hand seems to be gone…YES!

Now she’s also feeling quite powerful….since I sleep like a rock Dave has come up with a solution to help me hear her at night…yes, I still can’t hear her voice, even when she’s yelling…LOL !  So now she has a chairside button that makes church bells go off….I’m sure she’ll test it out when I least expect it;O)
