Good Sunday Morning Bloggers! Sorry I did not get a blog in yesterday, so will try to make -up this morning.
I was with Lee when the doctors made rounds yesterday morning and was able to hear their report. The many drains are now being removed. The one from his neck was removed yesterday, and another will be removed today. One I.V. that was in his right leg has now been removed also. This contributes to a little more mobility and he has been able to walk outside the room along the very long corridor. He seems to be more accommodating to this activity when two young, attractive nurses accompany him!
Yesterday, my niece, Genice Nix ,and my sister-in-law, Betsy Herman treated me to lunch. A surprise visit from my granddaughter, Micheala (UNCW) made the lunch even more special. They picked me up in front of the hospital, and we went to the Chapel Hill area for lunch at the famous Carolina Café. Even though the weather was a bit humid, the sun was inviting and we were able to enjoy some fun time together outside in the courtyard. They had decided I needed some time away from the hospital and hotel, and that the visit and lunch was my early birthday present!
Michaela and I went back to the hospital and visited with Lee for a couple of hours. We left when the nurses (see above) came to walk him. As we were leaving the elevator onto the lobby, I realized I had left my I-Pad in his room on a chair. We quickly caught the elevator back to 2nd floor. As I was walking toward his room I could see him and the nurse ahead of me. I approached him from behind, and commented that I was only out of his sight 10 minutes and he was already with another woman!
As you can see, things are moving along very well toward his recovery! Today he anticipates the removal of another drain, and another I.V. We have been told that discharge will probably be on Monday! Yay! Depending on the time of his discharge will determine if we leave Durham on Monday or Tuesday. Sometimes getting out of the hospital takes hours!
At any rate, all is well, and we are looking forward to time at home for Lee to heal and recover!
Have a wonderful and blessed Sunday!
