Pam has been teaching the nurses some sign language so they can communicate when she needs something.
So that they know when she is thirsty, she taught them the sign for beer…

From Sara…
Case management lady came by. She’s concerned about Pam being home alone.
She’s thinking maybe going rehab place. Because I work and I told her that yes I would worry about her fall and I’m deaf so Pam and I agree for her to go rehab. For awhile till she is able to come home.

That’s probably the best idea.
I went for 2 weeks after my first knee replacement cuz I lived alone, and it was just a knee replacement, so for all Pams been thru, that’s gonna make Sara and the rest of us more comfortable for a little while.

@John_E asked me how I’m doing. I’m sharing my response to him.
Thank you. The pain is minimal and they’re managing it well. The discomfort is the problem. My face and neck are swollen like a beach ball with drainage tubes all over the place. I can’t lift my head it’s so heavy, and require the aid of a nurse.
I’ve got several IVs connected to my right arm, and a oxygen level monitor on the 4th finger.
A blood pressure cuff is on my left arm, which annoys me when it constricts periodically.
All-in-all I’m as well as can be expected. As a bonus, my Cowboys clobbered the Vikings yesterday 40-3.

I hate that damn thing too, one of the most annoying things about being laid up in the hospital if you ask me
Glad you are doing good, it will slowly get better.

I’m diabetic (in remission thank God) and I’ve been there with the BP cuff and finger pricks. Can’t say I’ve had beach ball neck, but empathize nonetheless

Ms. Resilient has left the hospital and is now in the rehab facility until she is strong enough to care for herself (Sara works so rehab is necessary for a while). She also needs rehab for walking with the grafting they took from her leg.
