Discharged!

Melissa is in good spirits this morning. She was expressing her normal level of "worrying about the kids", and giving me a string of instructions to get this and that done...so she is back to her old self. The fog of her anesthesia has worn off finally, and she was feeling ready to be discharged, which was due to happen around lunch time there.

When the doc checked in with her at the appointed hour, he removed her drains, clipped the doppler wires, pulled her hip numbing tubes and discharged her from the hospital on schedule. YAY!! Now off to the French Quarter for a few days to rest up. She is excited to have a change of scenery.

The plan is for her to have a follow up visit on Tuesday and then fly home on Wednesday. It will be great to see her again.

She tells me that she is pleased with the status of things, from the care she has received to the aesthetic result of her surgery.

Good Times!
