With the ALIF procedure, Joanne and I are hopeful that she will once again have the freedom to tie her shoes, walk without numbness and only have me be the pain in her ass versus the constant back pain she has had for the last 6 years.

Made it to the room

Finally got to see Joanne about 5 pm in her room. She was a wake but tired.  Spent a couple of hours with her. She got a lovely liquid diet (beef broth, ginger ale, red jello, and apple juice). The soup was not too appealing, the ginger ale seemed good for a moment and the jello was the best but still not too exciting for JoJo tonight.  She was experiencing some nausea and when felt sick could really feel the incision in her stomach.  
She was settling in and resting when I left for the night. She was super tired and needs to get her rest. 
She REALLY appreciated everyone's great vibes, texts, emails, blog posts and die-hards who sat with me all day! 
Tomorrow will be a better day.  We are both trying to get some rest tonight. I will go see her tomorrow am (early--nurse said I could come up early) to see how our girl is doing.  


So some folks were asking....the address at the hospital is:
Virtua Marlton90 Brick Road
Marlton, NJ 08053



Joanne is in room 421. I will post her phone number tomorrow so she can get some rest today.
We are hoping for home Friday but will probably not know if that is possible until tomorrow sometime.
Thanks again for all the support.

  1. Sounds like she did good! Get some rest and let nurse Jessica and PT Holly take good care of her so you can take good care of you.

    Love to you both,
    Rose
