Today Susan gets to get out of bed. For most of us, it is no big deal. For a hip replacement patients, it is very hard, and very painful. The reasoning behind it is quite simple. The sooner you start moving, the sooner you get well.
The drug they have Susan on is called Dilaudid. They wanted to use morphine, but Susan would have nothing of it. She tried Tylenol 3, but that made her loopy, and that wasn't a good idea. From what I understand, Susan's family doesn't handle medications like morphine very well.
Dana, the resident for Dr. Mont, came by this morning to see how Susan was doing. From what Dana said, everything is fine. Tuesday is a clinic day, so Dr. Mont should be paying us a visit. I'm looking forward it. He and his staff are giving my wife her life back. For that, I will always be grateful.
Breakfast was good, but Susan made a face on the honeydew when she tried it.
