they moved her from the intensive care to the rehab unit in three days because she was doing so well. one of the nurses aids neglected to put all the guard rails up.
toby is still loaded with delaudid, a derivative of morphine and she has been a little delusional.
in the middle of the night she dreamt she was home, swung her legs off the side of the bed and stood up for about a second and then she fell on the new knee.
she said she had no pain at all and the x-rays showed there was no damage to her knee. the surgeon did a great job with the surgery on thursday because the knee took a hard bang and didn't break down.
she is back in intensive care as a precaution and because she has arrhythmia. my cardiologist and friend has been to see her every day and said he will correct the problem which he says is stress related.
today toby walked twice with the rehab people. the first one scared her, but the rehab people know her leg could handle it. the second walk was not frightning.
today we slept together, her in the bed and me on a couch/bed the hospital has in the room. nice to chat and fall asleep together.
i appreciate your asking about her. i wasn't sure i wanted to post this, but i feel a relief now that i have gotten it off my chest.
thanks again.,
