Just about out of here…
Last night was a bit better than the night before (the pain was much less) but as are all hospital stays, it wasn’t without incident. Misty’s roomate, a 71yr old bronx woman who just had some back surgery, had an allergic reaction to morphine in the middle of the night (2:30am) and she felt very comfortable being loud about it :) In all seriousness though, we felt bad as she was having a very rough night.
Anyway, Misty is doing great. I reviewed the MRI with the Neuro-Surgeon and there is no bleeding to be seen and her temperature has been stable so the liklihood of any infection is very low. Also, her pain level has dropped significantly and she is moving slowly but very much with it. Since she is doing so well, we are able to go home in just a little while (today!) to hibernate at home. After a week of nothing, we will start her chemo.
We have been encouraged by the prayers and words of so many. Thanks. Misty is ecstatic to get out of here safely after a successful surgery. I must say, it will be nice for me as well to get back to sleeping in my own bed…these hospital chairs have given me a kink in my neck the size of cincinati :)
