I talked to Julie about 3 p.m. She was in quite a bit of pain. She said they had just started a new I.V. with some other kind of pain meds (she couldn’t remember what kind), as she was very nauseated from the morphine. I asked her if she had her leak test but she said Dr. Owens doesn’t do leak tests. She had her first liquid “meal” today…a couple sips of broth and bites of jello. She also got to take a shower this morning and she said that zapped all of her energy. I’m reminding her that she needs to try and walk but she’s not really up to it…she’s in a lot more pain that she expected. She said both of her c-sections were a breeze compared to this surgery! L I feel so bad for her…I wish I could visit her, but I’m so glad she has another angel, Donna, who’s been right there. Doctor Owens said, depending on how she’s feeling, Julie may go home tomorrow or Tuesday, though I think she is planning to stay until Tuesday. My mom has printed Julie’s surgery page and will be bringing it to her and picking her up from the hospital to drive her to the hotel where she’ll be staying for about a week. But, it’s not too late to post a word of encouragement for Julie to read when she returns home, so please do so!!! Feel better soon Julie!!!
