So I am sitting in the hospital editing this entry. Swedish is a very nice hospital. Private room, good food, and best of all internet via phone hookup.
Karen had a total hip replacement today. The surgery went well and was fast. The recovery was slower than I expected. They gave her an epidural at 10am this morning and she still has no sensation in her lower legs or feet!
She is now “hooked up”. With little pumps massaging her legs, and a blood pressure machine, and various other icky tubes for draining gunk. The nurses and staff are very nice.
