Colleen: update

[mdlbear]

Colleen is looking good, and recovering. She was able to get from the bed to a chair this morning, but the epidural dosage required to control the pain makes her a little too unsteady to walk yet. It may slow down her recovery, too; hopefully they'll be able to drop the dosage tomorrow. She had me bring her walker; it's a lot better than the little two-wheeled folding things they have at the hospital.

Apparently there were two cysts, one on each ovary; 5 and 7 cm. All in all, as of this morning, she'd lost about 7 lbs since her weigh-in before the surgery. Hell of a way to lose weight, though.

She has her cell phone, of course, but no good place to set her laptop where she can read it. So phone will continue to be the medium of choice for connecting to her.

Well here's to hoping for a quick recovery for her.

And oh my...two cysts...yipes...

I'm very glad to hear that all the medical stuff was dealt with in one swell foop, and that Colleen is recovering well. But can't you snag one of those little wheeled adjustable table thingies that extends over the bed, for her to put her Eee (and/or a book) on?

It ends up too high for comfortable viewing (not to mention being pretty crowded already). She may be able to use it today or tomorrow.

So glad to hear that Colleen is recovering well. Here's hoping this will be her last hospital stay for a very, very long time!
