She's getting much better. She's up in her corner room, enjoying the view, holding court to scores of visitors. When her leg is not elevated it really hurts; she's not mobile at all. Her bathroom is only 4 feet from the bed, but it's quite a chore to get the crutches and make it safely there and back. Have to wheel the IV pole around to the other side of the bed, slide out of bed onto the crutches, hobble hobble, door... and back. Then call the nurse for a Vicodin.
Yesterday I noticed a computer sitting in a storage room down the hall, connected to the wall with a blue cable. This morning, when all the nurses were asleep, I snuck my Airport Express into that room. Now Alexa's room with a view includes wireless internet. She's gonna be really really happy (after she wakes up).
Before they let her go home the doctors are waiting for the blood thinner drugs to stabilize. Probably going to be 2 or 3 more days. Happy to say, her days in the hospital are starting to get to be routine.
