Recovery Day 4

Again today Jennie seems to be doing well. Unfortunatley we got here after the doctors had already come by this morning, for some reason they seem to keep coming earlier and earlier everyday. Jennie says her pain is about the same as yesterday but there is a noticible reduction in her grogyness, so we can tell her medication has been lowered significantly.

On the agenda today is to try and get Jennie to walk a little, maybe even out into the hall. I don't know if this is a bit much, yesterday just getting to the chair really exahausted her.

The only other issue is that Jennie still has some swelling, although it appears to be mostly in her legs and feet. They don't want to give any more lasix because her fluid output has been fairly high, but getting up and moving some more should help it.

Her blood sugar levels remain stable, which means that they have finally stopped checking it every hour (her poor fingers were getting butchered). The nurse is going to try and get the doctors to return, so hopefully we will know more later.
