    Over and done with has to be the best part. A slow and steady recovery should be the next goal. No need to rush anywhere with that walker. A hearty congratulations for seeing this thing through. Feel better - that can be done really fast.

    Glad to hear it went well and you're back home. Now, get the rest you need and you will soon be walking around without pain.

    Take care!

    Lucy, the nursemaid

    Last nite did not run as smoothly as I had hoped it would. I had tried to decrease the pain med amount and wow, it came back to bite me in the butt! I woke up stiff, in pain and thinking...."what was I thinking, decreasing meds the first night". So after a little whining, I got out of bed and took more pain meds and a muscle relaxant. It did the trick.

    Lucy has not left my side. She knows I am sore and every so softly walks next to me to the bathroom and sleeps as near to me as possible but not on me.

    Gotta run, have company.

    Some patients are *slow learners*!

    Early in my hospial stay, I was awakened by the MidNight Nurse ...

    "Tyme for your meds."

    WHAT is it?

    "It's to help you sleep."

    Don't want it - I WAS asleep till you woke me up!

    She left ... and I lay AWAKE the rest of the night!

    Welcome home! You'll be sleeping a lot, I think - and I hope your fur nurses are doing things right and 'sleeping on the job'!

    Wishing you speedy healing!
