Susan is in UPMC Presbuterian room G 519-1 for the night. It is a surgery step-down room (something between the ICU and a patient room) where they will monitor her for the night. She'll probably be moved to a regular patient room tomorrow if she is feeling better.
She came up on a gurney and was not moving at all when I first saw her. Transferring her from the gurney to the bed was not something I would not like to witness again in my lifetime. She did not react well. She's REALLY nauseous as a result of the surgery.
They gave her medicine for nausea and she 's mostly asleep right now. When she is awake, the room is spinning and she feels like throwing up.
The nausea seems to be getting better slowly. She is asking for coke on ice which is a good sign.
I am sitting in the room with her.
The nurses are very nice.
