The nursing staff has done an excellent job today--lots of progress. We believe the doctor will be pleased when he makes his rounds. Lynn will likely meet his criteria for discharge tomorrow. Everything was disconnected today (drip, morphine PCA device, and oxygen). And she received her last Heparin (anticoagulant) shot tonight, which has been administered to areas near the incision 3 times per day. That's enough to make one feel better! Very little walking today. Lynn spent most of the day in bed likely because the "extra good stuff" was disconnected.
More blood tests were performed today. The results from this and similar tests over the weekend will not be known until the end of the week at the earliest. During the day, Lynn started receiving treatments in preparation for the nuclear scan planned for tomorrow.
Lynn resumed giving me instructions today, a welcomed change. The task for today was to pick up Abby and Lucy (our miniature, red, long hair dachshunds). They were boarded at Forest Hill Animal Hospital (these guys are great) and Lynn wants to see them as soon as she arrives at home.

You know "mama" is getting better when she wants to see her babies! I know Abby & Lucy have missed both of you. See you tomorrow!
