Day After Surgery

Let me update everyone...it has been a long couple of days. Friday started out pretty good. The surgery went very well. After coming off all of the pain killers from surgery and the pump mom was in a lot of pain that the nurse and doctor were trying to get under control to give her some relief. Friday afternoon was spent giving medications to help make her comfortable...we were not having a lot of success. By 6:00 pm they gave her a combo that took the pain away but made her disorientated and dropped her blood pressure. They got the blood pressure back up quickly but she stayed disoriented until 3:00 AM Saturday morning, at which time she got MAD and said she wanted up now...the nurse got her up and she walked for the first time down the hall and back. She really did a good job. Since that time she has not been disoriented and is looking better. I stayed the night on Friday, so on Saturday at noon I came back to hotel for a nap and shower.
