I spent the day with CJF, she went from sleeping 4 minutes out of 5 to 2 out of 5. Her pain has normalized and at 6 she was moved into her regular room. Was tired of ICU. Most of the monitors and tubes are gone and her program goes forward tomorrow. I cant stand this surgery pain, I've seen her deal with it many times before and I dread it worst every time. Its for the best I know but never will I get use to it. I left at 9, leaving Lady Luck to spend the night with her. I must return to work tomorrow, but only a short day, my mind will on CJF and will be eager to get back to her. Thanks for all the nice responses, she'll love that. Also thanks to Dawn and Lady Luck for being the Angels that they are. My only frustration is that I can't kiss it and make it better. That will take the course of time.
Take Care and good wishes on your own journeys.
