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.

Turning a corner

Visited Joanne this afternoon and she is doing better. They had to take her off all IV medication as it was making her sick.  Now on PO pain meds and they are much better. Take longer to kick in but looks like we are finally getting her pain under control.
Helped her get cleaned up and into her own PJs and then we went for a walk in the hallway.  Hoping to get another walk in when go back at dinner time.
She is resting this afternoon and appreciates the texts and calls but is not up to really talking or visitors today.
We are hopeful that she will move on to solid food tomorrow and possibly get to come home tomorrow but really not sure at this point.
That's all for now.. I think I am going to rest a bit too! :)
