After Dr. Thacker came in this morning, we clarified a few things: -
1. Susan can now eat anything she wants (with the suggestion to go easy... eat soft things)... so she had scrambled eggs and biscuit and tea and a sip of very bad coffee. Susan even filled out menu choices for tomorrow!
2. Dr. Thacker recommended that getting the epidural out today would be best... would correct the itching, the low BP, and would be consistent with Susan being on the Fast Track... to try to get out of here Saturday morning. (since she's doing so well).
3. The IV fluids are out, and Susan is on a regimen of walking, breathing exercises, and drinking lots of fluids and eating ...to get her body "awake" and ready to be on her own.
Of course, she needs to have her pain managed with oral pain meds. before she goes home. So, we'll just work toward that goal today. She is sleepy, itchy, and motivated!
I read her your comments ...and re-read them in case she forgot. They are much appreciated. She feels your support and good wishes.
Thanks
Maggi and Susan

What a great report.....on the FAST TRACK! And, nothing keeps Patsy from playing Scrabble on the iPad. :-) Glad to hear she is eating breakfast...in a week or so, we will get some really good eggs and biscuits. Hang in there and we will see you before you know it. Love, Vick and Judy
Hey Susan. I didn't know anything about this until I saw it on FB just now. Candy and Kirk don't tell me anything of any importance. Anyway, Aunt DeeDee hopes that Aunt SuSu is doing good and is herself again real soon. I love you.
