Out of the Hospital and onto the Couch
We sprung Kirsten from the hospital this morning with the help of a few sticks of dynamite and a mule. She's now camped out on a plush sectional sofa at her sister Sarah's house where she will be recovering from surgery for the next few weeks with the extra help of her mother.
Kirsten has a high pain tolerance so last night when the nurse asked her to rate her pain on a scale of 1 to 10 and she chose "10" I knew it was bad. After I mentioned that a 10 should be reserved for being flayed alive she agreed to downgrade her rating to a 9. But still.
Currently she's getting down food and I think her pain meds are working well. She also couldn't be in better hands than she is at the moment with two Type A personality caregivers working diligently to meet her every need.
Thank you again to everyone who reached out to check on her progress. I'm sure she'll be able to post an update of her own soon enough.
