She came out of recovery succesfully

I realized that I didn't give the update on Mom coming out of recovery and actually getting out of the hospital today.  So they kept her a pretty long time - they weren't pleased with her oxygen levels in the early part of recovery so we had to wait until the stent worked its magic and her oxygen levels rose.  But we left around 7:30 and frankly I was glad they were so totally thorough, making sure she was really okay before we left.  We were both wiped out but I think all told it was a successful day. They were able to give her pain meds intravenously today so the neck pain was kept at bay a bit.  Her dear friend Katrin was here for almost a week, really taking care of her and a lot of details and we are so grateful for that.  It's great to have such good friends around, lovin on her (us).  She was more wiped out than in pain when I left her tonight, and there wasn't any blood or mucous coming up, so that's good stuff. One day at a time, yeah?
