Terrie's coming home today and will spend the rest of the day just resting and enjoying being home. She didn't sleep much last night.
I don't think I told you that she was rooming with 3 other women, and that one of them is an escape artist! I don't know whether this woman is always that way, or if it's just that she's on heavy meds which cause her to be confused. She keeps trying to get out of bed, in spite of the fact that she's hooked up to all kinds of tubes. Terrie's called to the hospital staff on more than one occasion, because her roommate was attempting to climb out of bed.
On one occasion the nurse came in while the woman was climbing out of bed, and inquired, "What are you doing?"
The lady replied that she "wanted her dirty bathing suit."
The nurse responded, "Where is it?"
Angrily the patient snapped, "You've got it!"
"No," replied the nurse, "I've got your clean dressing gown!"
Since episodes like this happened frequently, Terrie didn't get a lot of rest -- besides the fact that it's not restful when the staff keep coming in to take your blood pressure or give you injections or medications , day or night.
God bless you all!
Under His mercy,
Marty

Hi terrie, just a note to let you know I'm thinking of you and your continually in my thoughts and prayers. I'm currently in Tennessee recovering from my own surgery but upon my return, the offer still stands. If there is anything I can do, ANYTHING, the offer still stands. O.K....James
