A Day of Rest

Yesterday was a long day with a lot of progress! Jacob and Aaron stopped by after breakfast and spent a fair amount of time with me! It was great to be able to hold Aaron without belly pain like in Richland.

We ate, we napped, and I know Aaron snuck in some tv time… I also only have one IV so I have a total arm free for him. Even our nurse wanted to meet him! I noticed that my strength was coming back…not going back to the gym strength but sitting up with less effort in bed, walking around easier, less pressure on the lungs Thank the Lord!!! I hadn’t had a shower since I left Richland so that was the goal of the day but there wasn’t ever a gap in visitors so we planned it for after dinner. We waited all day to see the doctors and Jacob had used his last bottle and decided it was time to head back to Joe & Debs…literally two minutes later the Gastrointestinal Doctor showed up and a few minutes after that the my team of General Doctors showed up. They could see the marked change in me over the last 24 hours and it was decided I would transfer floor…apparently my floor was one step about the Critical Care Unit…I made a big climb to the 17th floor…a single room with a great view…I was thinking that this would be okay for a few weeks

…as I was getting settled, a nurse came by to burst my bubble saying I was moving again the next day…What?!$*#(…so I am enjoying the room while it is mine…and it is a one bed room!! I was up walking around my room…feeling very free and strong! Also, the Dr. prescribed a lowfat diet so I had to decide what to eat for dinner…deciding took forever and I ate very slowly when it got here. It had been almost 9 days since I ate solid foods…throwing up was not on my agenda!
