The New Normal Has Begun

posted by Buttons Padin on May 9, 2008

Christy has been home now for almost 24 hours and what a difference that has made for her. Her anxiety level the last day in the hospital was high and the post op MRI, where she had to wait for an hour after her Tylenol had worn off, was unbearable. (Note to self: Christy never goes to an MRI again with a strong advocate by her side!)

The New Normal is here. The Nurse Brigade has begun with Rita here for a while when we got home yesterday, Ann is upstairs now for the first morning shift, Mary mid-day and Helen for the late shift. Having current/past nursing capabilities on board for these first 24 hours has given me much comfort. Last time Christy came home, we were all a bit too cavalier with visitors...this time we're all taking a more controlled approach.

And I can't tell you how wonderful you have been by not calling but rather sending messages via this site.

Christy is up after a long night's sleep and looking forward to seeing all her friends as the days progress.

Thanks, thanks, and if I forgot to say it to all involved, thanks.
