i think i posted about surgery, well today i went to see jerry, he was still out of ita bit, nurse was great, she said be prepared today hes going to be hating her, she was getting him up. she suggested i go do something , i explained to her about my fears with that dilauded they are giving him again, and she was good about it.. she said he was using a huge amount of insulin, but later today, he was way down on use and blood sugar was doing good, those islets i hope are waking up. hes still in pain of course, while there sheupped both his basal line and thbe pumpline, she said our only goal today was to get up out of bed... well my shoes fell apart, buttons on coat came off, so inlaws took me to go get stuff.,i came back and sewed on buttons and we went over to see jerry, GOD I FELT sooo guilty leaving him. the nurse was thrilled to tell me not only did jerry ge tup but he sat in chair for an HOUR! before we left, she had me step out a bit, because she was getting him up again, another nurse helped he walked to room door and back to chair and was sitting up wehn i came back in, ohhh typos here..not used to small keyboard, anyhow, hes miserable, but doing good. man in the bed next to him , jerry is farther from door so his walk was a nice one, anyhow this morn the man said to me, he was praying for him all night last night that jerry would be out of pain soon. his wife didnt look approachable and i regret that i didnt go over and just introduce myself. well jerry wanted quiet todeal with his pain and said we all needed to go home, so i took that cue and left so i can get some sleep. well we are bottom floor and son says, why not eat here? im like good idea.. we didnt eat breakfast nor lunch, so we got early dinner and while in line for food, someone taps meon shoulder, its the mans wife. she said jerry is doing phenominal, her hub has had 4 transplants of some kind here, and had viral menningitis, and was here too on 6th floor. she said they are awesome here, and that i shouldnt worry at all, that jerry is doing better than her hub did in any of his transplants!!! sothat was nice to hear. she also said first 24-48hrs are the worst and jerrys doing so good. I hope it continues!! kathleens sister came and checked on us in surgical waiting room, she caught me slumped forward napping, you kow when you are asleep but yet hear all thats going on around you? i was afraid to miss an OR call. well i feel guilty not seeing kathleen for 2 days now, but will see her tomorrow sometime between jerrys progress. well thats it for now. updates to follow> LOL i took pics but having prob getting them online. ill just keep trying.
