UPDATE ON INKLINGS MOM
I talked to Inklings about an hour ago. Her Mother is hurting a lot worse than yesterday. She can't stand to lie down and they can't check her bandages to see if there is increased bleeding. She is not running a fever so that is good. Hernia surgery on the stomach is tough---and it takes six weeks minimum to get to where you can start doing things. The third day after surgery is usually the hardest and I hope that is what we are seeing here. I wish I had better news on this.

That's too bad. I was hoping she would have a better recovery.
Do you know if the doctor told them that the 3rd day would be the hardest? I'm wondering if they might need to call the doctor back and let him know how bad she is hurting. I talked to her yesterday and she didn't sound good. I'm really glad Inklings felt she should pack a bigger suitcase and prepare to stay longer. You should go over and visit, I'm sure they'd love to see you.
I talked to them today. Mom didn't even want to use the phone, just wanted to listen to the speaker. I could tell it was an effort to talk. I told Dad that I think the reason the third day is hardest is that on the second day there is still residual surgery pain medication in her system. By the third day she is reliant soley on the pills they gave her. I'm sure glad Inklings could be there to help out. I wish I lived closer.
aw thats too bad, she must really be hurting too because g'ma is a tough cookie, I hope she starts feeling better, maybe they just need to increase her painkillers.
They increased her painkillers and she went to sleep---slept most of the afternoon---in an uncomfortble position. Don't know the results of that yet.
