Update before the rush

GS has had a busy morning... and she's really popular, too.
Everybody, but a doctor, has been in to see her.
There was a waiting list.

Right now she's resting.
That's because she's going to have company.
My sister and my cousin and Mrs. Cuz are coming to see us (her mostly) today.

Slowly but surely the various attachments (or tethers) are being removed.
She won't exactly be bouncing out of bed, but it will be a lot simpler.

This is where I would say something about Colleen, the really good nurse she has today.
But I don't want Colleen to get a big head by saying how great we think she is.
So I will say nothing further about her.
I will add, though, that all of the nurses, even Ray, who GS doesn't remember, have been great.
Ray is the post surgery ICU nurse that no patient remembers until after he comes back and reintroduces himself.
He likes to show up and ask, "Remember me?"

Anyhow, there's more progress and we may actually go home before next year.

then the fun begins
