Tonight has been a busy night. They removed her cath and drainage tube, but had to replace her IV (which was a bummer). They said everything was looking good. Also the "special brace" they ordered for her right foot and ankle arrived about 6 tonight. This will help stabilize the numb leg and foot while walking.
They are moving forward for us to go to Rehab tomorrow or Friday, but the BIG catch is if insurance will approve it. We will just wait and see. If not, we will have some home health rehab. If we don't go to Rehab, we may come home late tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning.
For the first time, she thinks she can detect where the doctor took the bone from her hip. At least he did not have to do a separate incision but he did use her own bone for the fusion.
As posted earlier, this has been a sleepy day for her. Even when the children and grandchildren were here she fell asleep. She has slept a good bit tonight; so hopefully she'll sleep good tonight.
Until morning....we have so much love for all who are holding us up during these days.
