Mom called at 6am to say she'd slept well, just not enough, and that her surgeon had already come by to visit and said she is right on track. When I arrived later in the morning, she was very uncomfortable, and not nearly as chipper as she was on the phone. A little nap, some percocet, and we got up to go for a walk and she even took a...drum roll please...SHOWER! I think that was the best medicine of all.
Every day she takes five steps forward then three steps back. It's hard to remember how intense and invasive her surgery was, and that it's not just a scar on the outside the needs to heal.
They're hoping that she can be discharged home Saturday, but it might be Sunday. She needs to have passed gas and eaten a full meal before she can come home, and even then she'll need to take it seriously easy for many many weeks. So all you who've offered to help, don't worry, your time will come!

I just had the best talk with Mamasan....it was so light and refreshing....it wasn't about Mitt Romney being a Morman or Barack Obama only being in the Senate for two years or Rudy Giuliani serving more time in the Justice Department than in politics -- we talked about Jell-O. We talked about whether red jello was raspberry or cherry. We talked about how wonderful Monica and Gwennie are....but mostly we talked about whether red Jell-O is really raspberry or cherry. Sweet Dreams Red Jell-O Woman....We all love you.
What a tough road ahead for Liz :( But what a great support group she has :) So much LOVE i can feel it in every report from Monica and every crazy comment posted! My thoughts and prayers are coming your way! and oh...I believe the red jello is cherry and the deep red is raspberry...i love the lime and hate the orange!
