I spoke with Connie a little while ago
I spoke live with Connie and she is in a fair bit of pain. The pain meds don't seem to be lasting the full 3 hrs. I sure hope she can get some rest tonight pain free. She still sounds a little hoarse from being intubated but I suggested she ask for some ice chips. I lived on those my first night. She does have a drainage tube and a catheter than should come out in the morning and then she will be able to get up and walk a bit. For tonight she is just going to rest. She is moving around in bed as much as possible to get the gas moving which seems to be helping. She is very grateful it is over and she is on the other side.
