Morning update, I'm at work so can't make it as detailed and long as previous from here but will say we both smiled and smiled and she sounded delightful. Of course the meds she had just taken 20 minutes earlier were just starting to "kick in" Another bad night but after a one-on-one with her own Dr they are going to try a different pain drug. It sounds like gavapan or gavatrin or something like that. She couldn't remember. She was restless about 5 a.m. and reach for a box of goodies Naomi has brought filled with cards and letters and read over each one again - it was like opening it the first time because she doesn't remember the first time She did say that it didn't seem fair, even though she is now benefiting from it, that the more you pay for a room the better the food. After a tired, cold little fish flavored stick thing with chopped green stuff called veggies for one of the first meals YUK!!! A sandwich on a croisant (sp?) was heaven. Still the tube draining fluids but as long as the pain stops she doesn't really care how long it takes before the tube is removed. I gave her Cheryls (E The Spoiled) suggestion about speaking with the nursing supervisor about the meds, not the regular nurses and Dr. She's going to do it. More later but shouldn't really be doing this at work. Don't tell anyone
