Susan's New Room

Susan just got moved to a new room: D822. It's a private room on a much quieter floor. She was able to scooch herself off of the bed onto the gurney and back onto the new bed. It doesn't sound like much but it was Olympian. Up to now she hasn't gotten out of bed or even sat up on her own yet.

Oh, yeah--she had brain surgery yesterday.

She's sleeping right now on her stomach which is the first time she's been off her back or side. Somebody just woke her up and she said "wow, I was out." It's the first really deep sleep she's had.

She's asleep again. Everything is peaceful.

Marty, thanks so much for all you wonderful updates. I check on and off the whole day and it's almost like being there. I hope you are getting some rest too. I will call your cell tomorrow and hopefully susan will be able to talk.

Ah, so glad she is sleeping "comfortably" at last!

I hope it's a much, much easier recovery from this point forward.

Marty,

Thanks for the text. I hadn't looked at email yest. Hope Susan feels much better today. What was the surgery for? Something about a blood vessel pressing on a nerve? Vertigo sounds horrible. Please tell Susan we are sending her our best from Ireland! I'll ring you at a reasonable hour later today. It's 3 a.m. your time now.
