I got up at 8am this morning and took a shower. I left to go see Beth a little before 9am. They had removed the iv and the catheter. She was dressed and looked alot better today. She had just had her pain pill and they were waiting for it to kick in before going to therapy. So I was able to go with her and see how well she was doing. When we went into the therapy room, it was a 3 ring organized circus. People were lined up in the wheel chairs all around the room. There were about 10 people helping in one way or another. The hardest part for Beth right now is standing from a sitting position. But once she is up, she is walking pretty well for 2 days out of surgery. Her legs did not look as swollen as they did yesterday. The ice seems to be working well. We went back to her room and she was tired. Lunch was delivered and after she ate, it was time to use the bathroom. The nurses came to help her up and into the bathroom. I helped her with the wiping part and pulling ther pants up. We got her bac to the chair and she was ready for nap. They said she should be moved between 3 and 4. I lfet to come home and it was raining and I wanted to get home before rush hour. She called around 6pm to say she had gotten moved and settled in. Dawn had called and asked if I could watch Rylee tomorrow. She had a 102 degree temperature today. It would be no problem as I am not going to see Beth until the evening.
