Colleen: update

[mdlbear]

Colleen's had rather a tiring afternoon -- I arrived to find her exhausted and hurting after an unsuccessful attempt to get out of bed. Apparently the flow rate on her epidural was still too high, and she can barely move her legs (though she can feel them). This is, however, an improvement over this morning, when she couldn't move them at all.

She does have the nose-tube that was draining her stomach out, and is no longer getting extra oxygen. Not having tubes taped across her face makes her a lot easier to kiss, and on the whole she seems a lot more comfortable.

Her room is looking more and more like a florist's shop, which of course is just the way she likes it. Spring flowers, please, not red roses.

I know that ease of spousal smooching helps me feel immensely better, emotionally, even if the physical discomforts continue to mount. Loved-one kisses help me bear things that much better.

Absolutely.
