Judy was up and out of her bed 3 times today with nurse's assistance. She has her ng tube back in her nose. Still some problems with nausea. She was chowing down on jello, broth, and cranberry juice yesterday, but today was back to water and the wonderful assortment of IV bladders that hang from the festive IV tree. I delivered Judy's novel to her today and she read for a limited amount of time. Judy's pain level is only around a 2/10 level these days. The main source of discomfort is from laying on her left side all day. As mentioned before, she is being limited time on her right side because the staples used to close the wound between her buttocks are mainly on the right side. I saw the stapled area tonight and in my uneducated opinion, the wound looks good considering Judy is only 8 days past surgery. In fact, my opinion is: Judy may not have the open wound that was predicted. Again, I emphasize, my opinion. Tomorrow is house work day. Thank you to everyone who donated VIM, gave suggestions on how to use VIM, and encouraged me to get cracking with the application of VIM to the nether regions of the kitchen sink. I intend to continue cleaning with the usual VIM and vigor that I usually devote to house cleaning. Good night.
