Sandra and I are home now. Enjoying an evening together, dinner and then going to James' basketball game. I will go back to sleep at the hospital tonight. Grandma Jerry is there now.
Kind of an uneventful day. Sandra said they slept OK last night, and today there were not a lot of doctor visitors. I was there this afternoon when the neurologists came in. They said she looked better and they were impressed with the strength in her left leg. Perhaps our rehabilitation will be on the shorter side. We may go to the rehabilitation hospital next week. For now, they want her to stay on the EEG monitors, so she will not be too mobile this weekend.
She is still a little loopy. The drugs they gave her Wednesday night to sedate her have a long half life. Yesterday she was sleeping a lot and slurring her words. Last night and today she was a little disoriented.
She keeps asking Sandra where she is. "You're in the Hospital", "I am"?
She would touch her head and feel the EEG wires. "What's this?", "That is your EEG.", "It is?".
"You had brain surgery", "I did?".
Apparently she woke up in the middle of the night and declared "I want a PowWow with the nurses!", "Which nurse?", "All of them!".
Sandra said it made for a rather entertaining day.
