What a difference a few hours makes in the healing process! Several of us got to be with her for a bit in the ICU about 1-1/2 hours after the surgery ended. It was a bit unsettling to see so many tubes and contraptions going in and out. Because of the breathing tube she was unable to talk but did nod yes or no to our questions. The teardrop by her eye let us know that she was not having fun yet. But... by 8:30 p.m. when we were allowed to go in after the nursing shift change, she was able to talk, had fewer tubes and contraptions and was in good spirits.
As we chatted she recounted the phone calls and words of concern and kindness she had received the night before surgery from many family members and friends. It was obvious that even small gestures of thoughtfulness and get well wishes do so much to ease the burden and provide comfort to her. Thank you to all of you for helping our Mom make a speedy and successful recovery.
