Summer Waning Strawberry Moon
Back from seeing a much improved Kate. The pain has receded somewhat and she’s coherent. Back to her old self with a gimp leg–for right now–and lots of tubes. As I left, the nurse had begun to set up an IV for 2 units of blood. She lost a lot, one of the possibilities in this type of surgery. After she gets that, they’ll probably get her up for her first post-op walk.
She says she already has noticed a positive difference with no pain shooting down to her knee.
I took her one of the yellow Asiatic lilies from our garden. They look cheery and there are several right outside the patio door.
