Susan is in a room on the 2nd floor of Duke North. Room 2101.
For now, she sleeps.
But she has been very alert following surgery, got to eat some ice chips, could answer all the questions (with the correct answers!), and is resting comfortably.
In fact, she claims to feel NO PAIN at all. Zero.
The resident wants her to exercise her lungs when she wakes up... so she'll have a breathing machine soon.
She also has these "leggin's" that are like little pillows, that pump up and compress her legs, then relax... to prevent blood clots.
And of course, she's still hooked to IVs and oxygen, etc. but seems pretty relaxed/sleepy.
Her body will heal with lots of rest, but first she must sleep off this general anesthesia.
I have told her so many of you "commented" with good wishes and hugs. She said, "you can show me those tomorrow."
...so this might be "Good Nite" until the morning, when she will get to eat breakfast.
Thanks,
Maggi

So glad to hear that things went well! Pretty sneaky of her to plan surgery just to get out of the PLC School Improvement Team training tonight! Dan & I missed her! Hope she still feels no pain in the morning.
Take care,
