I'm glad to see you are getting there. :D
More progress. LibreOuMort's pain issue appears to be resolved. The hospital is working very closely with her on dietary issues too, including losing some of the weight the steroids put on her -- and she is visibly losing weight and looking and sounding better, healthier and happier than she has for a long time.
Attitude is UP, UP, UP.
They've taken away the oxycontin(?), leaving her on Percocet (sp?) and Valium as necessary for the remaining pains.
She's been given a number of exercises to build strength where needed and (I infer from an earlier conversation about more advanced cases of GBS) to re-program the nervous system to bypass anything that might have been lost.
She can gad about in a wheelchair, though there's not much company outside of staff; she's one of about four patients in the unit (this is a Good Thing). There are lots of empty rooms.
More foot motion to report. Not much improvement in the "drop-foot" right foot from yesterday, but the left has regained a lot of capability.
She's also able to rise by herself from wheelchair to walker and walk around a little, though the drop-foot is still a bit of a problem. She's been fitted with an orthotic that will allow her to walk. (I will let her tell the story of the people she's known before and met again in this process.)
Her goal is still to come home Saturday, or maybe Sunday. I think it possible.
