Thursday 5pm
ZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ
It has been a quiet afternoon in our home ICU. Michele has spent the whole afternoon sleeping. Dr Fox had been told that she did not receive adequate pain management immediately after arriving in the ICU in March. Not so today.
For those of you who bet against me on coffee--you lost. Not a word from Michele about coffee since 6am this morning.
For those of you who bet on her cell phone--you won. BIG time. About every third time when she wakes up, she asks for her cell phone because she promised to call someone "after surgery." So far she hasn't been able to complete a call before falling asleep again. So we retrieve the phone and turn it off again. Those who received that promise should know that the heart is willing--the rest of the body just won't cooperate.
Michele returned from her post-op MRI, and surprised us by asking for dinner! So, in a few minutes, she'll be grazing on a garden salad and chugging back a well-deserved glass of wine.
She'll most likely be transferred out to the normal floor sometime tomorrow.

Glad she is sleeping. Just dropped by to let you know I am thinking about you both.
