The Nomadic Patient Part Two

Cathy sat up in the cardio chair on the trach collar from 7 am until 3 pm. During that time her numbers all remained good.

The physical therapist came at the end of her time in the chair, so once again bad timing prevented Cathy from having physical therapy. Cathy did manage to stand for a brief moment. I was not in the room, the nurse informed me that she had good balance. We'll take it!!!

Cathy has not slept well since the transplant. Actually, she hasn't slept well since last Thursday when the fluid retention issue started to give her problems breathing. She is dosing in and out of sleep at this time. Hopefully she will get a full nights rests tonight (as much as she can with someone coming in and poking or proding, or josteling her every one or two hours.

...... Well, as I am blogging we got the word that Cathy is being moved two doors down (isn't that a song?). Something about patient and nurse parings. So much for getting some sleep right away. Gotta pack up......
