It has been 3 days since Jan had her amputation. She is being a real trooper with a positive attitude, most of the time. I guess it's expected to have moments of depression and feeling sorry for yourself, but she will get through it; we will get through this.
Doctors are suppose to let her go home today. I know she will be excited to be back on her couch with her puppies. I will be glad to get home too. Last night I didn't get much sleep. Jan wanted to take her sleeping pill early so she could sleep and I could rest. Well, we were awake until 1:30 am and up before 7.
I still don't understand totally why I don't hear from more of my friends and people from church. I know I have been just as bad about calling and next thing I get is a phone call from a friend. It's not about me. I need to be the hands and feet of Christ and not focus on myself.
The nurses have been so great at Northside Hospital. Courtnee has been a favorite of both of ours. She has been here through all of Jan's surgeries. Larry and Vernon, techs at the hospital are favorites too. They all love Jan and find any excuse to drop by and visit. She always has something funny to say that sometimes throws them off. She told Vernon the other night "she didn't have a leg to stand on". He busted out laughing and they hugged. Thank goodness for a good attitude.
I am hoping she can feel comfortable to talk with me when she feels down. She will need someone and I want to be there for her.
She is sleeping now and still has episodes of dropping off to sleep, but hoping when she is off her pain meds she will be better.
Enough for now. Thankful for all we have and what lies ahead.
