Days After Surgery...

This is Greg.

After the 8 hour surgery on Monday night, she arrived at her room after 11:00 pm.  Tuesday was a painful day, but she did manage to walk around and eat.

Today, Wednesday, she has gone down hill a bit.  Since morning, she has been extremely nauseous and can't eat or drink.  She is getting prepped to go to X-Ray and take a look at her bowels.  Most likely they are not yet working and may need help through drugs or clearing the obstruction.  Although we were slated to go home today, it looks like it could be another two days in the hospital.

She has been complaining about numbness in her hands.  Her left is better, but still numb.  The right has been the worst.  Neurology will take a look at it soon.  I'm thinking time will fix that problem.

I will keep you updated as I can.

Greg

Update at 6:00 PM.  Xray shows her bowels are not working.  She's been taken off of all food and water until time fixes the problem.  Could take several days.

Greg

    Ugh, that doesn't sound like fun. Hopefully a little more time is all it takes, and nothing more serious. I'm sorry she is feeling so miserable. Give her our love.

    We know Susan is a Bulldog and has the drive to do everything she can to overcome this adverse situation. Once home we will join with others to bring some meals. We know Susan would push to be the good wife; a lot of people care deeply about you guys and your family!
