Uncertain Dawn

Cindy in Mammoth, CA (You can see Kyle and Kirsti in the reflections)

They have told us day 2 would be the worst, so Cindy is bracing for it.

Nurses came in and the room buzzed with activity at about 6:30AM. Change of shift, review of the day’s goals, and assessing of pain. We have had lots of friendly attentive caregivers.

The surgery meds are slowly wearing off and Cindy’s nerve endings are beginning to complain. The breathing treatment made her cough and now we know that coughing is the enemy.

During the night Cindy was turned from side to side trying to find a comfortable way to sleep, but with all the tubes it was complicated and she did not sleep very well. I did alright on my backpacking air mattress on top of a very firm couch in the corner,

We are anticipating the Doctor’s visit.
