My husband is amazing, I've been particularly grateful for his general knowledge of the medical world. He plays the bulldog when necessary, yet is so very gentle and kind to me.
The staff here at the hospital are all very sweet and take excellent care of me.
I found myself wide awake at 4:30 this morning. For any number of things, I'm sure. I have an IV by my head whose electronic piece clicks away every 60 seconds or so. I have leg cuffs on (think blood pressure cuff) that run from my ankles almost all the way to my knees. They alternate legs and fill and release every 60 seconds. Not to mention all the sleep I got yesterday in recovery and off and on sleep all yesterday afternoon. So needless to say I'm awake and bored. :-*
The doc said if I can get up and move around without a spinal headache I may be released today. If not I may be here another night. So we'll see how that goes. He also said that the swelling behind my eyes may take up to 6-8 weeks to go down fully. So my eyesight may continue to improve over that amount of time. But thank goodness, no more diamox causing tingly feet and hands and other nuisance types of side effects like being groggy all the time.
Well, thats all I've got for now.
Grace and peace!
