Up and About, Sort of

I went home to see our younger daughter, tend to some business, and take a shower. A short time later I headed back up to the hospital. Early this afternoon, Eileen took a shower and we walked down to the nurses’ station. Her stamina isn’t very good and will have to improve if she is going to work in the yard tomorrow afternoon!!
Eileen is having quite a bit of stomach distress and can only eat VERY small portions. She doesn’t have much of an appetite. The pain and nausea is worse when she sits or stands up. Even so, Eileen is in great spirits. She has tried every button on the automatic bed to find a position which takes the pressure off her abdomen. I just finished gently massaging her abdomen and back. Now, she is falling off to sleep. Hopefully she’ll feel better when she awakes.
