Road to Recovery II

All indicators continue to be good. Judi has several IVs and many pumps and electrical equipment but they are all delivering data which indicates recovery. Judi is blowing the little plastic tube 10 times per hour and the lung is rallying, compensating for it's lost lobe.
Judi is struggling to understand which tube does what and I dared to suggest that she "let go and let G-d" She was not so drugged that she was unable to suggest that for her this is a ridiculous idea, akin to meditating or "going with the flow".
We were sorry to see Nurse Katie go with her superior nursing skills combined with warmth and technological know how. These nurses have to be like engineers with all the equipment. But Nurse Stephanie had a hair do that Judi had to sit up and admire which she claimed to have done at the Vidal Sassoon shop at the Waterways. That may be Judi's first stop on the way home from the hospital.
