She's having a horrid time of recovering. Pain and chills and fear and more pain.

Her mood and behaviors are totally 180* from her norm. She's so scared and tired. Thankfully no complications have presented themselves, other than less than optimum response to the the p.c.a. pump. The morphine has helped but the poor baby is still miserable. She cried for hours the first night after surgery b/c she couldn't void. She tried the bedpan and .....nothing. She wimpered and was able to get from bed onto a commode and then............ nothing. Then, she finally was able to go a little bit at 3am and fell asleep for a few hours before she woke up moaning in agony b/c she slept too long and didn't push the pump button to get something into her bloodstream.

The tears and stress and fear started all over again. Tonight I came home at around 6pm to get the place ready for her, take a shower, etc. I'm going back tonight to stay with her this last night, and hopefully she'll come home tomorrow.

God, what an ordeal.
