ok so it's about 7:05 and she is finally getting some sleep....she has only been able to sleep about 30 minutes since coming out of surgery! They have been trying to control the pain and maintain some consistency on her pain scale level. Currently she is at about a 5-6/10, which is where she needs to be. She was shot to eat some jello and chicken noodle soup from Noodles&Co, they would like to see more water consumption but we will take what we can get. She is very sore and can barely move her arms upwards more than 6 inches. She is working on taking oral pain medicine (Percocet) so that maintains the pain better than the IV pain mess since those fluctuate a lot. The morphine definitely works well so she is requesting that for home.....yeah good luck Sarah on that request! Movement definitely makes her pain go higher....she needs to move up and around 3 times per day to be discharged so we will see if she can go home tomorrow. Well it's been a long day and Sarahs quote for the day is "THIS SUCKS!" But she is relieved that bad tissue is out of her body....
Sarah is warrior and has done great today! Hopefully she is able to get some rest tonight and feel a little better tomorrow! The kids got to come see her and they know that their mom is okay! We need to break through the morphine need to control the pain and rely on controlling the pain with Percocet.....I will keep you all posted and let you guys know where things are tomorrow. Good night all!
