Mom Report

[susandennis]

I just talked to her... She's out of ICU and into a room with a phone. But she can't make long distance calls so she called Libba who called me. She couldn't talk really well because she said her mouth was dry. I asked her if they wouldn't give her something to drink and she said yes but she didn't want to drink anything. I think she's worried about fluid build up which has been a problem.

She can't turn the lights on or off and she said the room had been too hot but was cooling off. She is not a complainer so it must be pretty bad. I asked her if she hurt and she said not at all but she was really uncomfortable in that hospital bed. She's ok when she can lie flat but she can never get comfortable to read or watch TV.

It was really hard to understand her but it sounded like she needs someone there to look after her. I am so glad my brother will be there by mid-afternoon tomorrow.

But she said that they are going to let her go home on Saturday. So my brother will be there to commandeer all of that. Whew.

Anyway, I do feel relieved. Note to self: get her a calling card and make sure she knows how to use it and knows where it is.

The Mariners blew it again. You'd think they would want to win just to make me feel better, wouldn't you?? Geesh.
