Re: Report from Durham

[Guest guest]

My report from Durham follows:

I visited several of today's surgery patients, a few were asleep, and two

had their doors closed so I didn't barge in on those folks.

: She had not been in her room long and was feeling pretty rough. I

just patted her hand and she won't even remember I was there I'll bet.

She'll be fine...just a lot of nausea. But they were giving her meds for it

while I was there.

Darlene: Doing good. Sleepy but feeling ok. She's from land too so I

had to go by and see her. Her daughter is with her. Only stayed a minute

because I wanted her to rest.

Marie: She is doing so good! Her nice husband was there and I met him and

he came and got me at Darlene's room and said Marie wanted a picture of me.

So she took one of my sister and I. Marie was sitting up the whole time I

was in the area and is doing great! She's only two hours away from Durham

so she'll go home tomorrow. Hope there's not a lot of bumps. But she's a

trooper!

Trish had a terrible cough this morning and I hope that is better. Toni is

doing very well too and I talked to and she and , her

daughter, are both doing ok. Everyone that had surgery on Thurs. went home

today (to hotels, of course).

Flo is doing fine also. Not hungry, I fill up easily, the shortness of

breath from the surgical gas is gone, and I feel better all the time. Just

feels like I got a big punch in the stomach. I'm following Dr. R's

instructions to the letter of the law! My Mom didn't raise a dummy.

I'm heading for the comfy bed. I can sleep on my side (right only, left is a

little tender) so I'm looking forward to that.
