Recovering Slow But Sure




See to the left for day #2, day #3 and day #5. I'm able to walk around about 30 minutes at a time, but I'm feeling better with each new day. Thank you everyone for the good vibes, texts, e-mails, flowers, balloons, movies, gifts and food. I'm recovering at my parents home and hope to be back teaching part-time in about a week.

Questions I heard too often:
Would you like a pain pill? You can press the morphine button as much as you like.
Do you want beef broth or chicken broth with your Jello?
Did you pass gas, yet?

Questions I asked too often:
When can I lose the O2 tube?
When can I lose the pee bag?
When can I lose the IV?
When am I going to lose this water weight?

Questions I had to ask?
Nurse: Your weight is ***. Debbie: How much does the bed weigh?!
Why is the lady down hall screaming?

Questions my husband wished the Doctor didn't ask?
I took pictures do you want to see?
How do the sutures look? (after ripping off the bandages like duct tape) Come and see.

Question the hospital Communications Tech asked his boss while using the phone next to my bed?
The lady in bed here has a Blackberry, why can't I have one?
