Angel Report #2: (TueyandLimasMom)

June 19, 2001

Hi everyone,

I just spoke to and barely 24 hours after surgery she

*sounds* great! I guess she feels pretty miserable, though, as the

rest of you post-ops are well aware...

She had a leak test during her surgery and then they took her earlier

today for another leak test. As far as she knows, she " passed " the

leak test, but they did do a second xray on her because they said

things seemed to be " moving slow " .

She said the Morphine was not killing enough pain so they have added

Torodol. The catheter came out a little while ago and she has been

up and walking just a bit. She said standing makes her feel really

nauseous. Guess there was a little trouble getting her to wake up

last night in recovery. They said she must have had too much

anesthesia.

But that is *behind her* now and she can focus on healing now that

she is on the OTHER SIDE! She has not had the hired companions, but

has said that so far she has not had any real sense of

" desertion " in terms of nursing staff; they have been responsive

when she pushed the buzzer. She is on 9 East, Room 301, Bed A.

Phone is .

I will post more the next time I talk to her. In the mean time, keep

sending her your prayers and healing thoughts. She still has a long

rough road ahead of her. Thank you,

Terri Hassiak
