Big Steps

So Jennie was switched to oral pain meds last night, although they left the Duladid PCA pump hooked up so she could push the button for additional pain relief if needed. So far she has needed to push the button occasionally, but I think her pain level is somewhat below where we were afraid it was.

Today seems to be a good day again, and we will be trying a low-fat diabetic diet today (solid food for the first time!!) They just brought the tray in, so hopefully we can get Jennie to try several things. I am sure her blood sugar levels will go a little crazy with this change, but hopefully it will go pretty well.

Unfortunately Jennie was up a lot last night, the nurse was new and woke her several times. She is tired today, but at least she was up for some reason other than being in pain.
