Sorry I posted the last post too soon - I was actually considering hiring someone for a few days - to be here with me - but I should get my voice back today - so that should help - also I am able to do most of my own care - I feel bad for someone who can't and doesn't know - they must be terrified. Pain hasn't been too bad - the morphine they had me on a pump for - wasn't helping with the pain just making me a space case and suppresses breathing which is already compromised - so I asked them for something else and ended up with Tylenol number threes - which is now a standing order - my Goal today? Have a shower! Let's see if I accomplish it - thanks you all have been a great source of comfort!
