Y'all are really missing the action!!! Mom had her first bowel movement this morning at 3AM. This was her first since pre-op!! I guess all of her plumbing is working like it should be!! I told her that I refused to visit her if she was still using the portable toilet next to the bed...luckily she is mobile enough now to use the big girls potty and flush that stinky stuff.
She is doing great today...still on an antibiotic for that mild infection. They did a CT scan on her yesterday and I am sure Sheila can tell a heck of a story about mom trying to guzzle down the 20oz of contrast fluid. Ugh! The CT scan was clean and from what I understand her guts are looking good. She is now experiencing some drainage from where her JP tube was removed. The nurses and doctor don't find this suspicious but normal for some of the fluids from her abdomen cavity to drain.
Mom is eating well. Walking good. But I can tell she is starting to get a little stir crazy...9 days of confinement is starting to have a toll. She was a little restless while I was there and could not get comfortable. We took a quick stroll in the wheelchair down to the cafeteria so mom could warm up some soy sausage, walked a few laps around the nurses' station, took a truckers bath, picked at old remains of sticky tape stuck to her skin that was driving her mad and then her gf showed up to lift her spirits.

OH Rose, what will we do without the entertainment of the daily "life of Rose"? You are doing great and we are all ready for you to get out of that hospital before they kick you out for unruly behavior because you are bored and are feeling too good to have to be confined!
For those of us who have followed your progress, we all are saying that your excellent physical condition, your outstanding attitude, and the total prayer coverage have proven to be the answer to your success. Of course, God does get all the glory because He is the One Who allowed all of this to happen and we all give thanks to Him.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to hearing the word that you are going home!
Love ya,
Carroll
Some people just can't seem to get any privacy. And some people give way to much info-TMI-(HA)
