Ella made it back onto the ward by around 10am this morning - somewhat distressed after very little sleep last night and a very noisy fellow patient in the recovery area (screaming Chinese lady!).
So a quiet day of naps, relaxing, catching up with facebook and texts. Nurses, physios and Doctors all seem really pleased with progress:)
Tubes gradually coming out and some out of bed. Pain manageable with drugs, but not as bad as previous operations.
Tomorrow the consultants (plastics and orthopaedics) will come and see her to really report back on the operation and next steps.
Word of the day is EXCITING..
Ella says she came too from a nap this morning and felt excited about the future and Sophie is at home packing to go to a Festival for the weekend - which must be exciting
I'm a little wary of getting excited - but could let myself go there if I dared
Lovely to see U Bob this eve for Olympic round up and dinner
...and so a very special gold medal must go to Team Redman.

It was great to find Jo and Ella both in such good spirits yesterday; the icing on the cake after a great Olympic day (I never imagined woman's judo would have me on the edge of my seat!)
ReplyDeleteI knew it had to be a good omen for Ella to have the op on the Swiss National Day. So pleased with the good news. Much love, Barbara and Damian (Wow..., I found out how to write a comment on your blog now....!!)
