I’ll be leaving to go home after Eileen calls her mother. Eileen is eating right now; she is eating regular food, eating extra slow, and chewing her food extra thoroughly. She was offered another Percocet but she asked to wait until after she eats to take it. Evidently she didn’t enjoy her little escapade earlier today. Frankly, I didn’t enjoy watching her go through it. Anyway, she is feeling better as she eats but definitely wants some help from the pain pills. She also gets an anti-inflammatory in the IV every six hours. It seems that all the areas which were under local anesthesia after the surgery are beginning to wake up. Most of her pain is still in the lower pelvic area.
Eileen is a very strong and tough woman. When she wants pain medication, one can be assured that she needs it. But overall, she is doing the best she has today.
