Well, we made it through the night. They gave me the boot around 9pm. The night nurse was attentive, but had the bedside manner of a Paris Island Drill Sergeant. Today the order of business is getting the pain under control and getting Caren up and moving around. We're waiting for the drugs to kick in so we can go for a stroll.
I'm very happy to say, that despite the pain,and massive doses of pain drugs, she is completely coherent today. Last night was interesting; I realized early today that she had absolutely zero recollection of the conversations we had last night before I left...although it's arguable that that is no different from any other night. At least this time she had the lame excuse of nearly lethal doses (Note: this is a slight exaggeration, I don't think any attempt was made to kill my wife) of narcotic pain killers!
I safely navigated the NYC subway system to get here this morning. I did manage to get a parking ticket in Queens...how was I supposed to know they actually clean the streets every morning in Queens? They sure as hell don't look that clean!
I'll update after we take our walk.
Hey Seth...just so you know...guruchick74 is me Colleen :) following your blog now. Have they gotten the pain under control yet? How's Caren feeling this evening?
ReplyDelete...& just a heads up...they don't clean the streets on the weekENDS in Queens!!! LOL
Oh...& I forgot to tell you...please remind Caren how great she has done up until now, hard part is over (we have multiples...HELLO!) This pain shall pass, sleepless nights will come to an end soon...the finish line is in sight & given her strength...I am wondering...what's the next challenge!
