Hi there I'm in the waiting room at Swedish Ballard. Mich is out of surgery according to the monitor and is in the recovery room. I have not seen her yet and won't until she is in her room, no idea when that will be. Surgery was supposed to start at 11:00 so if they were on-time, it's been about 4.5 hours so far. Hugs for you & Mich. All the best, and a speedy 100% recovery.

Well, she's up in her room. They are trying to see if they can get another IV line in as her existing one is really painful. Her BP is on the low side which makes giving more pain medication a problem and she needs more. She's not in severe pain, but it's a long way from comfortable.

I hope the IV situation gets straightened out pronto. Mich has been through so much health-wise these past several months, the least that can happen is pain control! Wishing you both a speedy & smooth recovery!

How are you doing Mich ? Much pain or discomfort ? Did they get that IV into you ? All the best sweetheart cause you have more than earned it.

Pain is pretty much under control today. They did get the second IV line in last night, so got 2 units of packed RBCs. They've been in 3x since yesterday to draw blood and that vein is looking kind of ugly. Hope they get the picc in today soon.
PT supposed to show up soon to boot my ass out of bed.

Well, the IV line was collateral damage from PT. Can't say I was disappointed as it freakin' hurt.
PT went ok, got me up and on my feet today. I will be out of here faster than the last tIme.

Oh Mich at least they got some RBC's into you. I hope you get that picc line in. I had hickman lines and port-a-caths for 16 years, they were fabulous. All the best Mich.

They had that IV line inserted by a bone I bet. It'd freaking awful when they do that. I liked doing PT myself cause I did it and seen the results. I hope you get the same results as I did Mich. Get out soon, then you can start to heal from all this mess.

Well, she's supposed to get sprung today. It was supposed to be yesterday but they couldn't get organized. Plus, because she had to use the PCA pump last night they said her pain wasn't under control so they didn't want to release her. It sounded a bit like the 3 stooges were running the place, left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.

WOW! I am so sorry she lost the other hip. I am happy to hear that her surgery went well and I hope they're filling out the discharge paperwork as I type.
