Now that the scariest parts of this journey are behind us, Jen is letting her body tell her what to do next. And her body is saying "Don't mess around, here. We just had major surgery on Tuesday." The doctors concur with this, and have urged her to stay in the hospital until it feels reasonably certain that going home (where she wants to be, to be sure) is the smartest next indicated action.
Observers note that she is still exhausted, hooked up to an IV, and hardly partaking of solid foods. Indeed, the docs have backed her off the previously granted option of a full menu, which she never really partook of, to "full liquids" only. However, they also say that this pace of recovery is perfectly normal, and they are pleased with it, overall.
Sounds like a good call, Jen and Tony. I'm sure it'll be perfectly clear when it's time to go, and it's best to have medical resources around in case you need them. Hang in there. xoPaula
ReplyDeleteI have always taken a lot of comfort in knowing that Kay Knows Best...I know it must be frustrating, but don't leave the skill and expertise behind when the body is asking questions.
