The doctor was in around 6:30 a.m. to visit Mom. He said she was doing good and could be discharged. At 1:00, I went to pick her up, and she was back to her spunky self. I was amazed how she was doing. She had such a positive experience at the Lacks Center. When she got ready to leave, she told her nurse, if she ever had to go back there, she wanted the same room! haha!!! She also asked her if some of the nurses that she had could come in for a picture. These are the awesome ladies that helped care for Mom.
As for her medication, she's been taking her Vicodin only when she needed it. So far, she only took one pill around three o'clock. Thankfully, the Lord has answered our prayers and the pain has just been minimal. It will take her three to four weeks to heal. She will stay with us at least until she has her post-op doctor appointment on Monday, May 21.
Yesterday was a hard day physically for my Dad. He's been recuperating today as I've been his "strict" nurse and making him only eat liquids most of the day. Poor guy, he's hungry, but he knows it's best for him for now. We were able to get him some over-the-counter medicine and he seems to be doing much better this evening. Hopefully, he'll be able to return to a more normal diet tomorrow.
Thanks to our wonderful friends and family for upholding her in prayer. We have certainly appreciated them.
