Day 4, at home

So she's settled in at home as much as one can after mega-surgery.

She's quite uncomfortable today. She's been keeping up with her pain meds but seems to be having a lot of muscle spasm in one area of her back...we're trying to get the muscle spasm meds into her regularly today to see if that helps.

She phases from true pain into narcotic sleepiness, and this is how she'll be for the foreseeable future. It's very hard for her to throttle back and just 'be'. Herein will lie the problems once she actually starts feeling good without all the meds.

Please feel free to call her at home to offer words of encouragement, rides, or threats about staying still and just 'being'. :)
