5 Day Post

Meggan is doing well. She had problems again last night when trying to sleep. They gave her a "sleeping cocktail" but she's up around 2ish anyhow. Nausea still happens but only after taking some meds. The docs said it's normal. Hopefully the docs will up the dosage on her sleeping meds so she gets her rest. One prayer request would be that Meggan would not have nightmares. They tend to wake her.

We were challenged to a race today by Room #262. No joke, 262 was callin us out! They were toast in my mind because we have youth on our side. 262 is a little farther along in her recovery but I thought Meggan could push through the pain onto victory - isn't that what the pain button is for?!? But 262 stood us up!

We just returned from our third walk of the day. Each walk we go on is two laps up and down the long hall. It's exciting because it's the most walking we've done! Walks, like I mentioned before, help to declog everything. "Slim possibility" is the official word for a fourth walk!

Something struck me on our last walk. If you have weak stomachs....be warned. So we're walking and we both happen to burp at the same time. (Burping is encouraged because it gets the air in the belly OUT!!) If you know me, you know that burping if part of my charm, or lack thereof, take your pick. I was done, but my lovely wife continued........... for another 10 feet. Now, normally 10 feet is 3 paces and a foot length. But moving at the '5 day post surgery' pace, it's a good time lapse! She let 'em roll. I felt, proud. What a woman!

Food time, last meal. Actually, the food is pretty good. I think it's fish!
