Today
was a day of rest at our home. Angela didn't get up til well after 1 and I'm embarrassed
to say that I fell asleep for an hour or so in the middle of the day. The
best sign of all that recovery is well underway is the fact that she is once
again talking a mile a minute. The only benefit of anesthesia is that she
talked slow enough that I could comprehend every word.
She
is still overextending herself which ultimately comes back to haunt her in the
evening hours. We are doing a good job
administering the pain medication before the onset of pain however she is still
experiencing shortness of breath so I’m not sure that we’re out of the pneumonia
woods just yet. The good news of the night is for the second night in a row her
bowels were active. Emotionally, she was
upbeat & acting normal most of the day. She is a very strong, confident woman comparable to
know one that I’ve ever met before. The
most emotional days may yet to come but I have no doubt that we have the
strength to carry each other through to the end and when we don't our wonderful family & friends will pick us up.
