FRIDAY — resting is good

Nancy was inspected on Wednesday morning and found to be fit and promptly exited the hospital.  Seems they needed the room for someone that was actually in need of attention.

The odd thing is she seems to be experiencing more pain from the small incision than she did from having her sternum split with a reciprocating saw, slicing through various layers of flesh, and cutting her heart open.

Further, she is not supposed to move her left arm much, especially in the up direction, nor move anything heavy, nor drive, nor . . . the list is long.

She is taking enough pain medication that she isn’t even as active as she is allowed to be and thus has not described much of her experience.  On this coming Tuesday she has a follow-on appointment and will be given the bed-side electronic gizmo that will send digital reports to someplace out there in the “cloud” from where big sister/brother will watch over the functioning of her heart and their device.

Meanwhile, she is mostly resting.
