All is well. Resting up.

Last night was pretty uneventful. Nothing cool to report. The hospital had a cot I slept on so I was happy about that. Not so happy about the every 2 hour wake ups by the RN's. Not that I would complain. No really, it was fine. I got my sleep. Di has been in and out of it all day. She is pretty jacked up on some heavy duty narcotics. Thankfully. She did get up this morning to go to the rest room. A good sign. She needs to get up and move around as much as she can. So maybe after lunch Terry and I can coax her into walking around. She loves cheese and crackers so we ordered some for her in hopes that it would give her some type of energy. Enough to get her up.
I plan on sleeping here again tonight to keep an eye on her. I guess Terry will stay for the day. Don't think I could pry her away even if I wanted to. Not that I want to. It's about noon and Di has had a few Animal Crackers and some water....oh and ice. The patch she has behind her ear helps with nausea but makes her mouth dry. Better dry mouth then mouth projectile! Dr. Killbride seems to have done a great job on the surgery. That's what Dr. Mead said anyway. He said she made great incisions and it made his reconstructive job easy. All the RN's that have cleaned her wounds have commented on the "new technique" he used. Apparently none had seen the technique before. We were told that he is on the cutting edge of reconstructive surgery. From what i saw the wounds looked great. I thought it was going to be pretty nasty. It wasn't. I don't like "nasty", and it wasn't "nasty"..thankfully.

They just dropped off lunch. Chicken was pretty good. Di ate 4 or 5 bites. Not bad for Di and meat...some of you know what I'm talking about. Not a big meat eater.I made her eat some veggies too. Of course she started with the ice cream cup. That was no problem. Went down quick. She's up now. Sitting in a chair. Time for me to talk to my wife. I'll catch you up later.

thanks again folks. for the flowers, calls, emails, thoughts and prayers.
