JJ is looking MUCH better today but is still in Surgery ICU.
Hopefully Dr Barzune will move her into a room in the next day or 2 & she will have more freedom.
Her color is good
AND
we had an *aha*!!! moment yesterday....
JJ was yapping away & I touched her arm, looked into her eyes and said:
"JJ - your FACE is thinner!!!!*
I got out my compact mirror & she looked (first time she had looked in a mirror since surgery last Tuesday) & said *YES!!! I can see it*!!!!
She has lost 73 pounds since October. 15 since surgery last week.
They brought her dinner tray in while I was there...
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Pureed beef, asparagus & potatoes.
There was pineapple slices on the tray!
AHEM
I handed them to they guy & said *bon apetite*
I tried the beef, kept a straight face & said "mmmmm"
(cough cough)
then I tried the asparagus - wasn't bad!!!
Then I told Richard (the nurse) that I was auctioning off the left-overs to the highest bidder!!! They got a good laugh outta that.
It's GOOD to see JJ smiling more.
Hubby Jerry is about the same - is holding his own. She has been able to talk with him some.
That's about all I have for now.
She is really enjoying the cards that you all have sent... if you want to continue the cards, she is truly appreciating them & they brighten her day SO very much:
Judy "JJ Jackson (SICU 369) 7777 Forest Ln, Dallas, Tx 75230.
