Nez didn't get much sleep last night. (Who does in hospitals??) The reconstructive surgeon visited her this morning and said everything looked good. They got her out of bed and had her sit in a chair. She said she actually felt pretty good sitting there. She got back into bed and felt like she needed to slide up a bit in bed. When they assisted her, the nurse lowered the bed to a flat position which caused Nez to experience some pain and discomfort. (Nez is supposed to stay in an inclined position at all times.) Nez said that up to that point she only had some pain in her chest, but nothing in the abdominal region. After the bed incident, she began experiencing pain in the abdomen as well. They increased her pain medication and although she still felt the pain, it was controlled but left her feeling very groggy and a bit loopy. Over the course of the afternoon, the pain had subsided a bit and she became more and more alert, but she remains tired. Both the oncologist and the reconstructive surgeon are due to see her this afternoon. Overall, she's doing really well other than that, ah hem, mishap....ggrrrrrrrr.....
