It has been an eventful morning so far. I went down and got xrays taken while I drank this nasty chalk sludge that showed them how well things are going down. It was a bit slow allowing the liquid to go down so they may end up keeping me one more night. They did however, let me have water finally and that was the best water I ever drank in my life. The pain is pretty manageable, it is just the getting up and down that are painful. I actually enjoy the walking and have done one lap around the block of rooms up here on the 4th floor. I am hoping the recovery will be quick. I did not use half of the morphine they had me allotted for and have removed most everything I had attached except for one IV.
Nathan and Heather came by today and Melody is here now also. I think I am going to go for a walk here pretty soon as it does really help me feel better. I've had a constant parade of doctors, dieticians, physical therapist, respiration therapist, and all sorts of people coming to talk to me and making sure I am doing fine. I feel good and now some of the regular aches and pains are returning.
I am moving around much better this afternoon. Been up and about a couple of times, taking in some nourishment. Well, as much nutrition as broth and fruit juice can bring you. I am really enjoying the fine attention by the folks here at Heartland. Every few minutes they check on me and see if I need anything. I feel like I am healing already as up and down in this recliner is getting easier and less painful.
I have been reviewed a couple of times on what my diet will consist of for the next week. A lot of clear liquids and broth, jello, popsicles, oh boy. I am hoping to get to go home this evening and get it started. It will be good to hit my recliner and let my favorite lady wait on me hand and foot. LOL. So far, no regrets and I am really looking forward to the changes ahead. George
