Saturday Afternoon...

Lee and I went to get some lunch, and stopped at Lowe's to look for a new pump for the fountain. They have Christmas stuff out. Great. I want to get some new ornaments for the tree ASAP!

Rache is doing pretty well, in my medical opinion. Pretty strong pain, naturally, but also discomfort with her back from laying around. Other than that, she has been deemed a very healthy person, aside from the surgery! I'm very proud of her. I wouldn't endure any of this, that's for certain.

Dr. Schrader was by earlier, and indicated all is well so far. Blood tests are good, no sign of anemia, etc. He's coming by again tomorrow, and the drains will probably be removed then, and the Physical Therapists will try to get Rache up and around a bit if possible. Big day.

More flowers today!

This picture turned out pretty dark; they're from Aunt and Unk down in Florida.

 

 

And, more flowers, these from the Arnette clan.

Note my use dazzling advanced formatting in the post today. To quote The Monarch... "I have been BLOGGING!!" 

Saturday Morning

Long night for Rache last night. Pain in her hip, annoying pain in her back, and an uncooperative pain machine. They swapped out the machine, and moved her IV to her other arm, and it's better.

She's doing her little spirometry machine like she's supposed to, and looking forward to a cup of tea!

(You know I'm joking, right?)

First quote after the surgery...

"Have I still got that stupid hat on?
Take that thing OFF!"

Lunch!

This, good people of internetland, is the McSurf-N-Turf. Suitably fortified, I should see Rache soon.

Done!

Dr. Schrader just came out, and said everything went very well. She has "very girly bones" which is a good thing. Of course we knew they were girly bones, of course they are!

No blood transfusion, everything went well. She's currently in recovery, awake. They'll let us know when she's off to her room.

Somebody remind me that the Dr. said to keep the leg straight, and not let it flop over!
