Laps of the hospital walked today: 9. Spoons did a few sets of laps: 2 in morning, then 3, then 2, and 2 again before going to bed. The physical therapist said the goal should be 10 for tomorrow, 12 for Sunday and 14 on Monday, which is a whole mile.
Drugs taken that start with Z: 2. Zofran and Zantac for nausea
Friends and family who have visited: 9, not including me. Thanks to all who have come and all who have offered!
I'm home and about to go to sleep, just wanted to check in with a few last thoughts from today. Spoons is able to stand and walk more more without help, and managed to get up and about a lot today. The only thing keeping him down a bit in the morning was nausea, so he has been taking Zofran and Zantac for that, and in the afternoon he was feeling better.
He hasn't had a lot of pain -- the feeling was upgraded by him from "being punched in the stomach all the time" to "sore like I had done a million stomach crunches." I think that's an improvement!
Spoons' brother Ben arrived with Janine tonight, and they'll be here for the weekend. It's good news for me, since I'll enjoy having them around and I'll feel more free not to stay at the hospital all day if they are there. What will I do with myself? Probably come home and sleep more in the afternoon if I feel like it. I'm generally good, but just really tired. Sleeping sounds great. :)
