Hi everyone, Friday 9/15 - almost 9 PM.

I had a call this evening from Slick's friend and she was able to talk very briefly to Slick and also to Slick's Mom.

Apparently the "walking" part is a bit exaggerated. They had her "standing"
and also got her in a chair to sit for a while today.

She has been moved to the next level of care which is a 12th floor ward with five women in the room and one nurse on constant duty.

I am sorry to report that Slick had a terrible day. She told Betty to please just call Gini and tell her I had a really rough day and I am in a lot of pain.

This was to be expected I suppose - but hurts to hear just the same. Even if the cutest male nurse in the world came along, it doesn't sound as though Slick would be in the mood.

Slick does not have a phone in this room - I think she used her own cell phone or the hospital's portable to call Betty. When Betty called the hospital they would not let her talk to Slick - but gave Slick the message and Slick promptly got a phone and called back, but it was a very short conversation.

Connie - I think we need to ask those angels to lift the weight of the pain away from her as soon as possible - or double dose those good drugs.

xxoo to all - I will post more as I learn more.
