Well, a bit of a stormy night in Gastrointestinalville. Miss G always seems to save the fun stuff for the middle of the night. She did have a BM, hooray! but then had, from all reports ,a terrible bout with gas. This morning she was. as Frodo said to Sam, “feeling a bit thinner today” So she is back on some IV’s, struggling to keep drinking and eating. On the positive note, the docs took off her dressing as well as this “binder” device she was wearing. (its an approx 12″ tall elastic band they had cinched around her torso) and she says that it is ever so much more comfortable with out it. (her incision area looked good and they have left the dressing off) Currently she is concentrating on being still and centered and being patient with my constantly cawing “drink more, drink more”. Docs are still saying probably monday for discharge. Regardless we will stay at least another day in the hotel before heading home.
Our biggest loss of the moment; our faithful companion, sherpa and local translator, Nan has gone down with some sort of head cold/headache thing. She does not want to come near Gayle and has stayed at the hotel. Currently she is investigating ways of getting home as we came up in one car. Miss her greatly already.
As always, thanks for the good wishes. More as it happens. Loren.
