Still Lee:
TLL was able to sit at her computer for a few minutes today and read your comments. They mean a lot to us, as does all of the help and good wishes.
Unfortunately, the day devolved into vomiting. Blueberry vomit, if you're wondering. Pretty spectacular. Here's a little tip: How do you tell blueberry vomit from bloody vomit? Bloody vomit may look like coffee grounds, and it certainly will be dark in color and smell like blood. Blueberry vomit smells like blueberries and is brighter in color. If it ever comes up (har har), now you know.
So, after consulting with someone named Gail at the Joint Replacement Center, we've switched over to Darvocet and stepped up the laxative. Remains to be seen whether the Darvocet will be sufficient for the pain.
Before his bath, Thing 1 visited his mother in our bedroom. He had a lot of technical questions about crutches. (Those of you who know him can imagine.) He also said the sweetest things. Like, "Mama, I hope your hip feels better soon so you can go downstairs to eat your blueberries." And more stuff like that. A wag might find a possible cause of pukiness right there. I guess I'm not a wag. I got a little misty to tell you the truth.
