Had to stop and think what day this was. News is that Gayle is rebounding very well. Nausea been absent since this morning and while going for walks can still get the “ow” going a bit, lying down is fairly comfortable, except, she has been laying down for so darn long that other parts are starting to complain. Small potatoes in the grand scheme. Firm information is sometimes hard to come by but the general assumption is that we will be discharged tomorrow. A night in the hotel then we face the ride home. Gayle’s first shift night nurse, a stethoscope wielding gem, pronounced her gut sounds as “very active”. See what the Docs say tomorrow.
Serendipity showed up in the form of Lisa and Ric this afternoon. Wow, so great to see them! They were also gracious enough to solve Nan’s travel issues by agreeing to take her home with them. Too cool for words. We will miss her greatly(speaking nurse is a bit like knowing parseltongue). Can hardly wait to hit Morro Bay and home. Loren.

Oh, I hope you guys get discharged soon. Home is ever so much better. We’re thinking of you and hoping 2011 is the.best.year.ever (and of course, hernia-free).
Gayle looked and sounded just great when we saw her this afternoon – you’d never know all that she has been through these last several days. Had a nice visit, then hit the road, dropped Nan off at her place, now we are all snug as bugs but won’t be whole until you are back home too.
Thanks for the wonderful news that Gayle is rebounding. Hallelujah!
Loren, we thank you so much for keeping us, up to date on Gayle’s progress. Tell Gayle for the first time in 20 years that the Library was NOT cold on the last days of December. But I still have my heater on. We all wish you an uneventful recovery. — I have received over 7 weeks of leave for you, so just rest, rest and rest; we got ya covered. — DeskMate Joan
