Meantime, the help of friends doesn't let up, and--I can't say it too many times--exponentially hurries her healing process.
The pics are Tony-heavy today, as JZ was the main photographer.

It's only work and furious busyness...
...keeping me from posting. But, as most major-surgery patients can relate to, even when things go really right, a few things will go wrong. Thus, there have been some minor setbacks: a diagnosis of thrush and its attending new medication to work into the mix (swish and spit, nothing else in the mouth for an hour); an intermittent temperature; sore throat pain (left over, we think, from surgery's intubation), a few other issues, and the lasting discomforts of surgery. But these all occur against the happy backdrop of a generally progressing healing process. Jen's appetite increases every day, her guts are behaving as they should more and more, she sleeps less, and--as the 2.1 mile walk she took today a few hours after her 1.5 mile walk attests--she moves more.

Love the photos..you're certainly farther along in spring than we are. Hang in there Jen you are doing fantastic...and look beautiful as always. Lots of love coming to you from the east coast Cuz!!! Love deb
ReplyDeleteThanks deb - love to you too. It has been quite lovely and spring is definitely here. All of the blooms really help motivate me to go on my geriatric-speed ambles.
DeleteDid you have some buckwheat figgy scone!? WTG!!
ReplyDeleteFiggy buckwheat was Tony's, though I did have some advanced food...some bagel. I still don't understand why they are so good.
DeleteWow lady. You are able to motor around way more than this pregnant lady. I can do about half a mile before I need a rest! Although if that coffee and pastry were at the end of my walk I may be able to make it a bit further :) Thanks for the update. xoxo
ReplyDeletePerhaps, but I am paying the price today. Coupling extra walking with trying to space out my meds may not have been the best move. Now I know what they mean when they tell you they don't want you "playing catchup" with pain pills...
DeleteHa. No doubt! Reminds me of college days long ago...we realized that anytime one of tried to play "catch up" before going out, i.e. they were behind in the drink count before we left for the evening so they had to "catch up" to the rest of us (we always kept track on a post it) that person wound up way more wasted than the rest of us. Thanks for that reminder! :)I guess I can't play catch up after the baby comes to make up for nine months of sobriety. Lame.
DeleteLooks like Portland is doing its best to help you out with the weather - I hope it continues like that. I'm glad you live in such a great neighborhood for walking with high quality rest stops like Extracto!
