Yet another GOOSE EGG for me!!! I'm begining to wonder if I'll even know how to run if I ever get back out there! We are still at the hospital and I was going to get out and do some running today, but I really like to be here when the Doc's make rounds but that has been an all day process the last few days and I hate to leave because then I end up missing them when I leave the room. The med student rounds about 6:00 a.m. and then the resident comes between 7:00 a.m.- 10:00 and the the actual surgeon comes between 10:00a.m. untill 10:00 at night. Last night I waited untill around 1:00 a.m. when she was supposed to come by and then didn't see anyone untill this morning. I do the stairs every time I get something to eat, and try to add in extra sets of stairs when I dare leave long enough to stretch and get out of the room. I even did leg lifts and squats in the room yesterday but I'm sure that it's not enough to make up for the 3 square meals that I'm eating here due to lack of any other form of real entertainment!!! Hoping to maybe go home tomorrow, my body will thank me when I can get back on my regular shedule of running and eating better. Im not sure if I''ll even dare go near the scales when I do get back home. Jamie is doing pretty well, she feels good, but there have been complications and we may end up going home with a PIC line for some home I.V antibiotics and we will be doing wet dressing changes in her incision for up to a month and then more surgery..... hopefully things will heal sooner and we can get the next surgery done sooner and be over with this whole mess! At this point I don't really care just getting home and sleeping in an actual bed and getting to be out of this little room will be the best thing ever!!! So I was out going for a quick walk to strech my legs and I saw a sign that said that if you walk the breeze way between Primary Childrens and the U of U 11 times that it equals 1 mile, so I hurried and walked the mile. I will get back later and do another one or two. I realize it's not running but it's better than nothing. Sure wish that I would have seen that sooner, but the other good news is that they finally decided no pic line and that we should be OTTA HERE tomorrow!!! |
