A PRODUCTIVE POST OP DAY!!

John the night nurse has passed ativan/celexa information along and thank u. Mary RN with her today.Pain team came when I was there and able to get her a little more comfortable. It must be a nurse writing that kind of title. Tonight the oxygen up the nose gone and jane sat in the chair more than 2 hours. Did not tell her tim was coming with me so she was so happy to see him too. I helped her brush her teeth which felt so good.Was able to grab portable phone and she talked to mom and dad on the cape-their portable phone dead/no lites since 3pm from heavy storm. Adios and yes there is a "god" P.S.Patty the nurse anesthesia friend-THANKS for the chapstick it is so helpful and your visit was perfect explaining to her why her neck and back is killing her more than the chest as she was on the or table for 9 hours-6 of actual surgery and 3 trying to get the block in. She told Jane that her body was in a million positions. And yes Jane we will bring u your own pillow tomorrow am.If possible can u sign name after posting as i am telling her who is posting-thanks Jane wanted me to mention that she kept on repeating "I AM A SURVIVOR,I AM A SURVIVOR" when they had her sit in the chair-it hurt so bad she told Tim and me. She was excited and waiting for the ativan/celexa meds when we left her at 9pm. We did not get lost coming home as we did night prior even with a GPS system.Around this country the Amish use wagons,horses,etc. and find their way just fine!!

Jane,
Thinking of you and praying for you. You have again shown such super human strength, and thank goodness your sister is with you...that is a blessing. So glad you are on the other side of the surgery. Can't wait until you are weeks into your healing and back to the spunky gal!
hugs,
bj

You are one tough gal, Jane. You are showing amazing strength, but that' no surprise to anyone. So glad to here "it's all out of you". Despite the pain, that has to be a wonderful feeling. So many are praying for you--feel the strength we send! Ann L
