The princess laughed and joked around yesterday for the first time since her surgery. The fact that she has a great CNA with a fantastic sense of humor is really helping. Seems like the pain, though still ever present, has leveled out and is manageable with simply an epidural. The doctor wants to remove the epidural today and see how she does with either a bit of IV pain medication or oral. I hope all goes well.
The princess was walking last night for a few laps around the nurses station and was hopefully going to get her hair washed today - depending on if she could bend over. The incision and ribs are pretty sore, so I hope that works out. She would feel a little better. I know she is eager to come home in the next few days, but really needs to get the pain under control.
Still no visitors aside from hubby and sister. She isn't really up for chatting and has been sleeping and drifting the better part of every day. I guess hospitals aren't really for visitors, unless the patient has a broken leg or something of the like. Anyway, I'm sure after a few days at home, back here in the zoo, she will be eager for some visitors. Will update with any new news.
