Today was the day for surgery. Helen was out after three incisions by 1 PM and on her way to recovery.
The pain medication she has been on has strange side effects, therefore she had a sleepless night with some very vivid flash backs of her past years. This morning before surgery she was still very confused and wondered when we were going to take her to her appointment for surgery at the hospital. Having experienced many of these same things with mother when she had surgery and was on morphine I was not surprised by her experiences.
Tonight Helen was still coming out of the anesthesia and a little confused, but appeared to be doing very well for being 6 hours post surgery.
The plans for tomorrow are for her to be up and doing a little walking. Most likely not ready for a Marathon yet.
