This is an email I sent earlier to family. It begins to sum up some feelings and events
Let me tell you about the parking garage. A great addition to this facility it allows patients closer access to medical resources. Having spent some time coming and going I have wonder about this area. I have mainly noticed that once any driver has entered the garage, there is an almost "dumbing" effect. It appears that all driving expectations, rules, ethics and obligations are forgotten. Lucky for myself there have been no dents or dings. But driving or walking you take great risk to your physical and mental health.
Just to bring some closure to the day. VERY uneventful day for mom. Well from our perspective it was uneventful. The only thing to mention is that the sedation continues through out to night. The doctor has two reasons.
1. The main reason is that her recovery and healing goes better while sedated. Less chance to tear or pull any internal sutures.
2. He feels (like you need a PhD to figure this out) that mom will NOT tolerate the breathing tube while she is awake. DAH! He is AWESOME doctor though and has handled her case with 100% excellence. He has been very informative and clearly looks at all aspects. Easy to communicate with. But no level of education is needed to know that Mom will no way tolerate that tube. Actually any form of restricting what she has to say.
The doctor does say that as patients go, Mom is doing what is expected as for recovery. No surprises and every detail is right on mark. To night while she sleeps we have returned to North Conway to regroup, do laundry, shower and a few other needs. I will return tomorrow, with hopes see her begin to wake up. My sense of humor though wants me to really mess with her head. She has slept for almost three days. I thinking of costumes or better a poster that announces that Obama has chosen McCain as a running mate and they will take on Hillary. Make it look real. I figure thats better than trying to convince her she has been a sleep for the summer and that snow is expected next weekend.
Nah I will be good, her revenge could be awful, her room right now contains several items with fluid in it, some of it hers and her throwing combined with good aim and small space is to much to risk.
Thank you all and again more news tomorrow.
Much Love
