Catherine is continuing to make progress down the road to recovery. Saturday was filled with plenty of pain and nausea meds, so Cath was pretty comfortable all day. All the pills make her stomach hurt, but no worse than she imagined. She is plugging through with a positive attitude, and is very excited that Sarah's kidney is working so well in its new home!
Sarah left the hospital on Saturday. She was still in some pain and suprised that the doctors let her go so soon, but she is very excited to be sleeping in her own bed!
Today, Cath was very happy to have her catheter removed! Once the catheter is out, it's important to pee every hour so the stitches in the bladder don't tear. Once she does this a couple times with no complications, she gets her IV removed and can be discharged from the hospital. Cath says this is the hard part, and she had a little trouble with it today. Hopefully things turn around soon so Cath can be cleared to leave. Fingers crossed!
Once Cath is discharged, she will move to a hotel in San Francisco for a few days while she continues her post-op treatment. It won't be long before she is back at home, catching up on her Tivo :)
More to come soon!
