Being asleep is not a bad thing after going thru a huge surgery. It gives her body time to begin heeling and she doesnt have to deal with pain issues. I was was kept in a medically induced coma for 3 weeks. Besides a few memory blips here and there I have gotten past that bad period and am doing well if thats any consolation. Linda is equally resilient and will be on the right path before you know it.
Please be kind to yourself, caregivers need care too. Hang in there!
