We went for an actual walk this clear and sunny afternoon, just up and down the street in front of our house -- but it was the first time Marina had been out in fresh air and sunshine for forty-seven days. She loved it.
With continuing bouts of nausea, with both the new pain medication and the Tagamet to soothe the stomach lining as candidates, Marina has pretty much given up on all medication other than the Norco painkiller, and that in only half the original dosage. This seems to have had good effect for nearly three days. Most encouraging, since the pain levels, while still significant, haven't gotten worse.
First post-op visit with the surgeon, Dr. Hu in three more days.
