Saturday

Hi there,
Mom is now sleeping soundly. When she got back from recovery, her pain was between a 7 & 8. It was quite a bit rougher on her than she had expected. She is extremely sore. They gave her some pain meds and she was able to eat a half of a sandwich before the meds knocked her out. The port site is very sore. It was giving her throbbing pain prior to the pain meds kicking in. Mom says she feels beat up. They gave her a new IV in her left arm in OR. They will need that line for the CAT scan which will most likely be done today (Saturday). It looks like they were trying to get a line in her right hand but failed. Her little hand is black and blue and swollen. It made me nauseous to see her bruised again. We are not sure when they expect to take her for the CAT scan. To be determined... I plan on staying the night here. .
Love you lots,
Carmen
