Day Four

Things are getting better and better. Today she was given "real" food, disconnected from all the I.V.'s and the catheter, and went for a walk with me down the hall. She is taking NO PAIN MEDS. She must have one of the highest tolerances for pain of anyone walking the earth!! I would be doubled up, lying on the floor in agony and despair. She's chewing ice, jotting notes in her journal and watching television....??

Visitors today included Ken and Carolyn J from Post Falls, ID. Ken is a building contractor who employed Lois when we lived in Sequim. They took me to lunch at the Sushi Bar downtown and it was delicious. Later in the day, a former student of mine, who is an RN here in Spokane dropped by, then later yet Kristi and Doug W from Kennewick came by (pic).

Kris is a special person for Lois. They met at the Cancer Center in Kennewick. Kris went through the same surgeries, by the same two surgeons here in Spokane last February. She is a bright spot in our lives because she has provided lots of encouragement, help, and hope for a brighter future. I don't think Lois would have been as interested in this surgery had she not came across Kris.
