[Janet]

I guess she had a pretty bad day today, but is doing better.

This is part of a message sent to me this afternoon:

Her blood pressure has been really low (she usually has really high blood pressure), and she's been in a lot of pain today. They finally gave her pain meds, so that's better, and they're monitoring her blood pressure and oxygen levels because that's low too. It's not unusual. Anyway, she was feeling much better and had eaten a big dinner. The girls were there with her, so she was feeling better because of that too!

If they can get her blood pressure and oxygen levels regulated, she'll be home the first part of the week. They were going to start PT with her today, but she just didn't feel like it. But, the doctor said that when she gets home, she can start walking, up to 3 blocks. Before she couldn't do nearly that. The surgery was a HUGE success. The circulation in the leg is way, way better!!! YAY!
