I always liked to look at the pictures on blogs. They seem to tell a part of the story. Here are several.
We have been having a hard time managing her pain. Trying several meds.
Finally found one that works and thankfully not making her sick called Norco.
They first tried Tylenol Codiene, and not sure if it was the fact that it did not work or medicine but she was really agitated and even biting her nails and blanket. The nurses switched to the Norco and valium and with in 1/2 and hour she noticed the pain going from a 10 to a 4 and when we got her all cozy nested in the pillows she said a zero. She gets quite tense when getting up and down but once we get her all nested in her bed she takes a deep breath and says ahhhhh.
She has some nerve pain in her leg when walking but they say its normal for this surgery and will go away eventually. It makes her not want to walk much. Hmmmmm
She went from 5'2 to 5'4 !
WOW. See her with her physical therapist.
I think we will be being discharged tomorrow.

Hi Hailey! I hope all is well. You look great in the photos, although it seems that the pain is dreadful to bare.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you terribly at school. You know when you miss someone you start to see that person everywhere? Today, I accidentally mistook Gabby for you. I know all of your friends and classmates miss you a lot as well. They keep asking when you are returning and how you are doing.
Well, let us know if you need anything! Sending you warm wishes and lots and lots of hugs!
Ms. Triplett :)
