Jo and I arrived at Rose Medical Center at 5:30am. She was checked in and ready to go by 7:30am and before 9:30am we were sitting in the recovery room. That's right, I said, "we". That's the first time I've ever been invited to the recovery room. In fact, the entire surgery process seems to have changed quite a bit in the past 8 years. Everything seems a lot easier and much more streamlined.
Before noon, Jo was sitting in her room talking to Anna on the phone and I heard her say, "It seemed almost too easy." She is scheduled to spend one night in the hospital and then head on home tomorrow.
In the famous words of one doctor at the NIH, "Don't worry, it'll get worse." Of course, he was talking about the ATG treatment, but I'm guessing Jo's discomfort will increase a little as soon as her nerve block starts to wear off. Right now, she still can't feel or move the fingers on her left hand.
The early morning caught up with us and we both just finished a pretty significant nap, but other than that, Jo looks ready for me to wheel her down to Starbucks!
