Can you belive this?!

Today was good as we rested here at the hospital and Rojeans pain is under control as it appears and the Dr.'s said that we needed to test the waters by walking some and sitting up and getting around a little. Rojean did get up to the bathroom and shower and we took her down to the cafeteria to eat with us. But I had her ride in a wheel chair as its a long walk and if we were going to go home today I didn't want to make her too tired. By the time we got down to the eating area she wasn't hungry and wanted to go back to her bed. SO more pain meds were giving as she is on a low dose again and more rest. Talking with the discharge nurse he recommended taking enough pain meds to make the ride home and just do it as this may be a long recovery and they really aren't doing anything different than just giving her pain medication and letting her rest. She can do this at home with a caregiver. I agreed. SO discharge papers were signed and shoes were put on bags in hand. As we were walking out Rojean not yet out of bed the Dr.'s team came by to see her. Asking if she could walk and sit up and operate somewhat normally. She didn't really walk much more than here in the room and she didn't even eat out with us so they said you should not leave as we don't want a repeat of Monday. We didn't either and are glad they popped in at this time. I finally feel like they see what I was seeing. Not that we were untruthful but sometimes Rojean says she's ok when shes not. We all do that especially in the spiritual department. Then we just power out and can't function properly. SO if she can walk the halls and still cope with life and not have to lay down right away.

So that means that your staying for a little bit yet? Don't blame you for not wanting a repeat of the other day... We are praying that she can feel good enough to go home soon! Love as always
