Since returning to her room, mom has been sleeping on and off, mostly on. She did eat some of the chicken sandwich and salad that were brought in, but declined dinner.
She is in some pain/discomfort but not at the site where the procedure was performed. Her right side is very painful and she was concerned that she felt bone protruding. Her nurse checked her out, pointed out that during the procedure she had been on her right side, probably longer than she is used to, and her ribs protrude on both sides of her abdomen. I mentioned her pain tolerance to the nurse and wondered if a rib could have broken due in part to her osteoperosis. She didn't think so based on her physical examination of the area and administered her regular pain medication. So she's sleeping again.
I'm going to take off, head to the house and have a quiet evening, I hope. Val will be here tomorrow so I may take the day off and enjoy some of this fine Michigan weather.
Oh yeah, Reverend Miller mentioned that Royal Oak General had an earlier name, an article in Sunday's Daily Tribune mentioned Olmacher Hospital does that sound familiar to anyone? Ask mom.
As I was leaving and thanking her nurse and aide I was informed a portable xray has been ordered to check out the rib situation. Gotta love that response time.
Can you believe it? I've actually got internet access from Meadowlark. Go figure.
