Update on Marisa's surgery. Marisa also wanted to let you all know how much she appreciated everyone's support, kind thoughts and prayers for her health and to sends you all a special "THANK YOU" and a big
Got her laughing to where she told me to stop making her laugh because it was making her hurt...Boy did I feel bad
They took her off the morphine and put her on Percocet so she is sounding more coherent.. They are not sure if she will be transfered to rehab to tomorrow, as her hemoglobin is down and she has some bleeding in the area where the surgery took place.
I will be calling her tomorrow. Then I will come back and fill you all in as to how she is doing and when they may be transferring her to rehab.
I asked her how much pain she is still in and she said not real pain mostly discomfort but not all the time. Her leg on the side where the hip was replaced is still swollen. She is a little bit apprehensive about them taking out the staples, all 39 of them. I told her she needed to tell them, before she lets them take the staples out, she needs a REALLY potent pain killer or a Valium cocktail. She said OR a drink. If it was me having staples removed, I would have to have all 3 of them.
Marisa really did sound good, like a person who is well enough to go home, which she definitely is ready to do. She misses her babies and her friends at AI and of course at LTA too. We all know when it comes to getting better after having any surgery, there is really nothing as comfortable and assuring as home and thats what she needs right now in order to get on with her recovery. Maybe very soon.
She sends her love to you all and that she thinks about everyone everyday and as soon as she can, she will be back on the board to chat with you all herself.
This will be my last update on Marisa as I do believe they will be releasing her in the next few days, I have my fingers crossed that they will.
