Post-Surgery

[aberdeen]

Everything went well, apparently.
I hate oxycodone.
Still nauseous, dizzy, and groggy from anaesthesia this morning.
I'm plugged into an ice machine on one side, and a femoral nerve block pain medication machine on the other.

When I'm less blargy, I'll take a picture.

Glad it went well

Where are you staying? For how long will you be there?
BTW, Your aunt Marianne had her surgery last Friday and is out of ICU in the Cardiac Step-Down Unit. (Multiple Heart related surgeries all at once)

I'm back at the Hampton Inn hotel in Anchorage. And they continue to be the most absolutely wonderful people, ever. When I got back from the hospital, the two desk/manager people (and the housekeeping/kitchen lady) grabbed a wheel chair that a former guest had left behind (it had been a rental that still hasn't been picked up, I guess), and they wheeled me to my room and made sure I had everything I needed and helped set up my ice machine thing. And if I need/want the wheelchair while I'm here, it's mine.

My plan was to go home on Monday, but I extended out until Wednesday when I found out about the nerve block machine, because I don't want to bring that back with me.

They still weren't done with the house when I left. I'll be calling in a couple hours to see if they're done, yet. Dunno what to do if they're not done when I need to be back there. I guess just keep staying at the other house and hope the people who live in it don't come home...

Thank you so much for letting me know these details. If there is anything you can think of that I can do that would be helpful, please let me know.

Where are your aminals?

And how long do you have before school begins?

Is there anyone in Kotlik than can prod contractors in your absence?
