Good in that Nance slept! (me, too!) Maybe even 7 hours' worth. Good in that last night I found chicken broth, carnation instant breakfast, & jello - yum! - to help slake the hunger of a woman who's been on a weight-gain campaign for weeks and hasn't quite made the transition yet. (And let's face it: an IV may carry nutrition, but it really isn't very satisfying!)
Bad in that the pain is really settled in, the road out looks long and rough, and Dr. Eskanazi, while she didn't come in last night to stitch up the navel that needs a suture, has yet to arrive this morning. And that the arrival will bring that suture and more potential for pain. Bad in that last night's nurse kept attaching things to Nance's gown directly over incision sites and then arguing that it shouldn't hurt because, after all, she hadn't touched the skin. Bad in that no position can possibly be comfortable. I think it's going to be a hard day for her to be anything but (afraid and) crabby.
She looks forward to seeing who has written in with a Blog comment (I am up on the 3rd floor right now, scamming off a neighbor's internet, just to be able to bring an updated computer back down to her on the first floor -- which seems to be virtually sealed off from the airwaves). Phone calls are a bit tiring and she's been relying on others to field them, so writing in on the blog is really a great way for friends and family to send nonurgent messages her way.
Say hey.

Hi Guys,

Hey Nance - You predicted every single day of how this would go PERFECTLY. I am so sorry today is rough, and I remember you told me it would be. It gets better from here - I know it. Today, you get to whine. Tomorrow things will be better. Love you - Stacey
Hey Nancy,
Been having trouble sleeping here as well, but can only attribute it to too many things racing around my brain... like how you're faring.
We're thinking of you often and will be waiting to see you when you're back home and ready.
Keep that chin up (unless it hurts too much), and know that we're here sending "no pain" vibes to you!
XOXOX
